Subject:	IMB 2007 Fitz's Challenge, last email

Fitz’s Cycle Challenge is now 18 days away.

Just to remind you again, the 2007 IMB Fitz’s Challenge will take place on Sunday October 28 which is now barely 18 sleeps away.

Our web site is still up and running so those of you who wish to take advantage of making an early booking rather than waiting till “the day” can now book and pay online.

As can be seen from the table below, the savings to be made by booking early are significant so, 

BOOK EARLY AND SAVE

Our website is: http://www.pedalpower.org.au

Under “latest news” you will find the “IMB Fitz’s Challenge ON LINE Entry link.  Click on this and you will be taken to the IMB Fitz’s Challenge page, which provides a bit more detail. Within the text is the link to the online booking form.  This is, I believe, a secure method of paying.

With four rides of 49km, 105km, 165km and 207km there’s a ride in it for YOU. The two longer rides contain the lung-busting Fitz’s Hill, and the Epic contains the really challenging ride up the Corin Dam road. All this takes place in the beautiful foothills of the Brindabellas. 

All rides start and finish at the new Stromlo Forest Park cycle track.

The Rides are: 

Ride	Distance	Start	Target time	Entry Fee	
				Up to 22 Oct	On the Day	
Fitz’s Epic	207 km	06:30	12.5 hr	$40	$50	
Fitz’s Classic 	165 km	07:30	10.0 hr	$40	$50	
Tharwa Challenge	105 km	08:30	6.0 hr	$35	$45	
Tidbinbilla Challenge	49 km	09:00	3.5 hr	$25	$35	

Now, according to http://www.workcover.act.gov.au/docs/summer.htm daylight savings start on Sunday 28 October at 2 am.  This could mean that riders in the EPIC and possibly the CLASSIC will start off in dusk (can you have dusk at 6:30am?).  In any event, and in the interests of safety, riders should come equipped with suitable lights.

As usual with these emails, should you no longer be interested please send an email to:
Fitzs@pedalpower.org.au with the word”unsubscribe” in the subject line and I will remove your name from the list. If you have in fact received this when you requested not to, then mea culpa.  I had a disaster with 2 of my mailout lists and had to re-generate them so some addressees may have been included in error.
