Consistent performances
over recent week culminated in a first place for Fleur Jolley
(shown left) from the Eastern Suburbs Club in the 20-rider D Grade
20km event. There were plenty of attacks during the race but all
were chased down successfully. This resulted in an average speed
for the race of 34.8kph, about the same as the C Grade average
speed. Jolley made a successful break with 8km to go. Randwick
Botany’s Paul Baker and Andrew Young (Eastern Suburbs) tried to
bridge the gap but Jolley proved too strong and finished first in
a time of 34min 47sec, 20m ahead of Baker and Young.
The E Grade event was
contested over 16km with final placing Norman Jew first 32min
01sec, Julia Guinan and Kevin Blanchfield. Norman and Julia
