Hi guys,
I'm in contact with the ironman organisers into motorcycle marshals for an event in Mandurah on November 8th.
Very similar to events we do now, except ironman riders have to ride 190km.
Please let me know who's definitely interested in participating so I can pass numbers onto Ironman.
Last year they paid $70 to cover fuel, I presume this will be the same for this event but will let you know.
It's a good half days work, but very enjoyable.

That sounds like a bit of fun.

My brother was invited to compete in the 70.3 at Mt Treblanch in Canada.

As you are aware I'm in contact with ironman over the Mandurah event, I've been informed it's being run by the Ulysses group, I just wondered out of the guys who are interested in marshalling this event if you are actually Ulysses members from different branches? Please let me know so I can get back to them.

I am, Joondalup. Not sure if I can make it at this stage.
-
While you have your diaries and pencils out remember there is an OzSTOC RTE the following week (15th) to Quindanning
-
Hi Pete,
Do you know how many marshals are required and are they specifically looking for Ulysses members??
-
OK guys, contact made with ironman marshals, payment is $50 cash plus I think fuel voucher paid by ironman on the day, not sure how it works.
Now I need definite numbers for who want to marshal the event so I can get back to them with numbers, add your name to the list below, if you are a ullysses member state which branch too.

Hi guys.
Ironman marshal coordinator has sent me details of event, please pm your email addresses so I can pass them on, I also require your full names and t-shirt sizes for your event shirts.
There is a pre event meeting on the 7th in Mandurah at 1pm to assign pillions to riders.
Thanks

Good morning Pete,
Christopher J Hill (Chris)
My shirt size is a small depending on brand. The pillion passenger sound interesting i hope these pillions have had some previous experience. I am used to my petite 62kg wife on the back (not some 100kg monster waving a camera around :eek)
Cheers Chris :blk13
-
Chris, I'll book you for a medium size shirt just to be on the safe side, ok.

Sorry Chris can you PM me your email address please.

Ok guys, that's 5 confirmed, but could still do with a few more to bring the numbers up, if you've never marshalled before, don't be put off, it's a really enjoyable day out or half a day, little experience required, just need to be able to guide cyclists around a course and keep them safe. Ask any of the marshals.
So c'mon guys try marshalling, we need another 3 riders to boost numbers on the day.
For the marshals that have confirmed there is a pre event meeting on 7th November at 1pm in the car park where Mary street and old coast road join, there's a shopping centre IGA there or alternatively meet at the dome on the foreshore at noon, and maybe go for a outing afterwards depending on how it suits.
This ironman pre event meeting has been stated as preferable but not essential, so if you live a distance away or are busy on Saturday please don't feel obligated that you need to attend.
I will post information here regarding times to be there etc.

Its a bit of a hike to go on the saturday. so if I dont need to go thats good. I am happy to have a pillion, as long as they have a helmet, trousers and good footware. If they are in shorts and thongs they wont ride.
Any info you can get would be good, like meeting point time and duties.
-
Pillions will be suited and booted with helmets, times etc will be posted as soon as I know.

++ :like

Hi confirmed marshals, emails have been sent to each of you, detailing bike requirements and a rider policy document that can be completed now or on the day and a map of the route, which would be good to download if you are not familiar with the area.
Any questions, PM me.
:wht11
-
Where do we send the completed document??
-
Bring it on the day, or alternatively fill one in on the day.

Hi guys,
Still in need of a few more marshals for Sunday 8th, who's interested in half a days ride around Mandurah and your fuel paid for, don't be put off if you've never done it before, we simply follow a set route and supervise some world class athletes.
Interested drop me your details, name, email address, t shirt size.
There's a pre event meeting on the 7th in Mandurah if you can make it.
Should be a good day.

Thanks Brock, that was very informative, I don't know about doing a u turn in the space of a lane width with a camera guy wriggling on the back :eek, however there is always a first time for everything.
See you in the morning for coffee.
Cheers Chris
-
Will do, not sure what time I am leaving, dont know when we need to be there yet.
-
I will be leaving Kinross 0400, to get to Mandurah at approx 0500-0515 to meet Bloodbikes to collect windscreen stickers and go to start point. Going straight down the freeway, exiting at Mandjoogoordap drive right into Pinjarra rd.
-
Thanks Brock, will catch you boys down there in the morning.
Cheers Chris

Don't exit on mandjoogoordap drive, go 2 exits on to Pinjarra road. So mandjoogoordap, then lakes road, then Pinjarra road, turn right at the lights, go under the freeway and I'll be waiting for you.

I'd just like to thank all the guys who marshalled today at the ironman event, I understand several of you are also volunteering for the Busselton ironman in December :thumbs
Thanks for taking the time to help out.

It was an interesting day, pulling along side riders and pinging them for drafting or failing to pass quickly enough, or blocking out other riders.
You have to have eyes every where, and nerves of prestressed carbon fiber, as those bike come out of nowhere
