Subject: Further information sought re an AMB timing system that will measure and web publish bicycle climb times on an individual time trial format with 30 second Start intervals

Attention:  Luka Wu

 

My name is Phil Johnston of 5 Ronald Ave, Harbord NSW 2096.

 

This e-mail seeks further information of your sports timing equipment referred to in your above attachments which Jeff Barrett V/P Cycling NSW kindly provided to me.

 

I maintain two cycle websites:

*           www.Muggaccinos.com for road cyclists who like +100km hilly rides; and

*           www.KOMpm.com for cyclists to log their Climb Times up 57 different King of the Mountain Climbs across Greater Sydney and Illawarra.

 

KOMpm took me a long while to gather requisite logistical data for the 57 Climbs and build a website which provides a plethora of performance reports.

 

I am about to approach a global pharmaceutical company, with a closer interest than most in middle aged male health, to sponsor an Annual King of the Mountain Challenge Series for adults between 18 and 70, male and female:

2007    Launch the annual KOM Challenge Series in Sydney in Oct/Nov.

2008    Conducting KOM Challenge Series in Sydney (Aug/Sept), Melb (Oct/Nov) and Brisbane (June).

2009    Hobart (February), Adelaide (March), Perth (April), Brisbane (June), Sydney (Aug/Sept) and Melb (Oct/Nov).

 

Each Series involves about 5 consecutive Sunday’s of age division semi-final time trials up steep hills, followed by a Sat/Sunday Finals to determine the King of the Mountain for 19 different age divisions.

 

My Information Memorandum to induce a very large global pharmaceutical company to be Sole Sponsor also entails propagating the above Annual King of the Mountain Challenge Series to 50 major cities throughout USA, Europe and Asia by 2010.  It is a “grand plan”.  But I believe I, and my Event Team, possess the skills to “complete the project”.  I work for Commonwealth Bank in Infrastructure.  I lend between $30m and +$100m for new large greenfield infrastructure projects.  This project is vanilla by comparison.

 

I require timing equipment that will –

(a)                    register the Climb Time up 3 KOM Climbs between 3km and 9km in length for 80 different Climbers per day,

(b)                    record those times in tables; and

(c)                    publish those tables to a website in Climber Reports.

 

Logically, I require say 85 Transponders and holders.  I am unsure whether your Base System is more than I require, as I don’t believe I need GPS.

 

I use a Magellan GPS to create the attached ride maps, so I understand GPS.

 

I note that your offices are at Carss Park, Botany Bay.

 

I work in Martin Place, so initially I guess the telephone and e-mail is the best medium.

 

Luka, I will phone you on 9546.2606 in a few days to ascertain what hardware and software AMBit can sell me to record Climb Times for up to 85 Climbers climbing 3 Climbs per day.

 

Cheers
