REPORT
Hi everyone,
Firstly we must thank Fred Vella. When
everyone quickly made a dash home as the storm was nearly upon us after
Saturday racing, Fred jumped in his truck and drove around track to pick
up the safety cones, made back to club house before the terrible storm
hit, he sat it out for a while in Club house before storm abated.
Thanks Fred!
Secondly would like to thank
Dale Rockell for
helping out with the timing of the U15s race and
Bob Bykerk for coming
down to assist with time recording. Bob is keen to get the times of all
the riders to help with handicapping.
Would also like to thank the Parents, in particular
Peter Duncan, Stuart Sharpe & David Reed
for assisting with the races, couldn’t do without
your help guys, thanks.
As you know we have a lot of different levels of
skills and fitness so with the help of parents etc it enables us to run
races that allows everyone a fair go.
Welcome to
Lauren Ballesty
(U15s) who joined our Club on Saturday, wonderful
to see another female rider!
Want to say what a great ride by
Hugh Stewart &
Abdul Ali. Hugh road
incredibly well considering he doesn't train during the week! We will
have to do something about that. Abdul had his first experience on a
ride bike, he did very well considering not quite his size, but with a
little bit more practice I am sure he will grow in confidence and
skill. Jack Reed
managed to hold off any attack again this week, so
back to the drawing board with our handicapping! Not sure what happened
end of the mixed race as we all scattered so quickly because of storm,
anyone want to take 1st Place?
Have to say all the juniors who rode on Saturday did
a great job, the clouds were very ominous but we started anyway and
everyone stuck to their guns and rode their race, even when the drops of
rain became a little bit more threatening, but we finished all the
racing and then made mad dashes to the cars to put bikes away and head
off home.
I am going on a camping trip to Victoria for a month
(March) so will not be down at the track til Easter. I have organised
with the Club Executive to have someone from the senior members to
assist. If the parents could continue to help out when they can with
the races would be grateful. Will be giving each of the families a call
to discuss how they may help etc.
I think the main thing is to start the U15s race (8
laps) first up and then the mixed races after.
One of the great things about cycling is the people,
so please make sure those who have been with the club a while give a
helping hand to our new members. There is a lot to learn about the
sport of cycling, so always good to offer a helping hand when we can.
See you end of March, have fun cycling, Janette
