CONGRATULATIONS
GIRLS - GOLD MEDALISTS STATE TEAM TIME TRIAL. |
 |
Congratulations, Sarah Roy, Tania
Newton, Sue Henry and Sheryl Rotondo who took the Gold
medal in the NSW Club Team Time Trial Events at Calga on
June 14, 2009. RBCC was well represented with some
7 teams. Just as well the girls got a medal
because the best the boys accomplished was a shake of
the hands of the winners. Congratulations to our
Under 150 year Masters team of Sam Gilbert, Richard
Westmoreland, Matty Lucas and Willem ter Avest with a
great time of 1 hr 2 mins for the 40 kilometres which
would have put them on the podium last year but this
only graded them 8th. |
 |
|
 |
The Dream Team, Big Bazza Mourad,
John Buckton, Dave Lippman and Chris White were right on
target with our goal time of 1 hr 7mins (which is 2
minutes faster than our PB) but again it only got us 5th
overall. Left the President of RBCC is pictured
with the Gold Medalists. No offence "Dream Teamers"
but this was the only way that I was going to get in a
gold medal photo.
Congratulations to all those
who represented their club and had a fabulous day.

GET WELL SOON
WARREN WILSON |
 |
Our good mate Warren recently
suffered a stroke. He is currently in the Stroke
ward of Shoalhaven Hospital (in Nowra). He is as
sharp as a tack as always. Unfortunately the
stroke has affected his speech (he is very hoarse and it
is an effort for him to speak however that wont stop him
telling a few jokes or retelling a few old war stories).
The stroke has also affected his vision and his mobility
and he has a lot of work ahead to get back on the bike.
If you are down that way he would certainly enjoy a
visit to lift his spirits. I know a recent visit from
Rocky & Anna Fortuna certainly did that. Our
prayers are with Warren to make a speedy and
hopefully full recovery. Get well soon Warren. |

RBCC EASTER
TRAINING CAMP at COOTAMUNDRA on Fri 10 April to Mon 13 April
The Easter camp at Cootamundra
despite their only being a small number of
attendees, was very successful and very
enjoyable. Four magnificent days with a
little warm-up ride Friday afternoon, then the 3
planned rides on Sat, Sun & Monday.
Thanks to the Gemma and Tony
of the White Ibis Hotel at Cootamundra for
looking after us and providing a great social venue where,
in an atmosphere of belly aching laughter, a few
tall stories were told over a few quite drinks after the days riding.
See report and photos
