The Club would like to sincerely thank all those riders from south east Queensland who participated in the ride for Tim. We believe over two hundred bike riders made the journey to the Rock Pools in a fashion that honoured Tim’s commitment to safe and responsible training and racing.
A memento of the ride will be passed onto Robyn.
Well done to Goldstars’ Jesse Kerrison (1st GC), Alex Wohler (3rd GC) and Ryan MacAnally (13th GC).
Three Goldstars riders in the top fifteen of Elite A at the Battle of the Border is an amazing performance that the Club is very proud of.
Jesse’s overall GC victory and victory in Stage 2 and Alex’s thrilling win in the criterium were the highlights of a great weekend.
Congratulations also goes to Mark Laspina who completely dominated the Masters B Men also taking out 1st place in the GC.
Well done to all of our members, especially our large contingent of juniors, who competed in all grades over a beautiful long weekend of racing.
We understand that everybody in the Club, the Gold Coast, Queensland and Australian cycling community are deeply saddened by the tragic news. We also know that everybody is concerned about the current welfare of Robyn, her family and Tim’s. The Club management is currently working through the information as best we can. We have a very small group of people who are in contact with the two families and we will keep everybody abreast of information as soon as we hear.
We know that this is an extremely traumatic time for the families involved and we have let them know that the larger cycling family will be there to support them in anyway that we can. The Club in conjunction with CATS, other clubs, CQ and CA will be making plans to honour Tim and support Robyn as soon as Robyn has stabilised.
Many of us in the Management Committee and CQ have known Robyn and Tim for over two decades – they were always there to support us. Now we have to be there to support them.

Well done to the Junior Team who ran the barbecue at Bunnings to help raise funds for the Goldstars junior program.
A BIG THANK-YOU needs to go to two retiring members of the Management Committee.
Diane Monk will be stepping down as Treasurer. Keeping the books for the Club can be a complicated job and yet it is an essential one that has to be performed in order for the Club to operate. Di did a great job of keeping track of the Club’s finances and also assisting in the conduct of our Open events.
David Bell will also be stepping down as Vice President. David has contributed a huge amount of time to the Club over the past few years and has been instrumental in developing our junior program, conducing our Open events and assisting in organising our Club Award Presentations.
On behalf of the Club, the Management Committee would like to thank both Di and David for all their time and support over the years.
During the past year, the Club has introduced a new web site and Club logo which is prominently displayed on our new Club trailer. Accordingly, plans are afoot to assimilate the new logo into the Club outfit toward the end of 2012. This will require a re-design of the current kit and approval from the general membership which takes time.
Consequently, the current outfit, of which the Club is holding more than adequate stock needs to be run out to sufficient stock levels to allow a change in outfit.
To allow this to occur, the Club warrants that the current outfit will remain as authorised Club kit that can be worn in Open Events until the end of 2013. And, the price of the kit is to be significantly reduced to accelerate the sales and allow it to be purchased for training as well as racing.
Full outfit is now $100.00
Wind vest $50.00
Skinsuit $100.00
Will remain currency for next 2 years.
