REPORT
Thanks to
our Commissaire on
the day, Mr Tony Horneman and Joanne Buckton assisting. Thanks also
to our race Marshalls, Paul Malzard, & Scott Buckton. Thanks also to Roy Magill
& RJ of the St John
Ambulance. Thanks to Scott Buckton for deploying all the warning
signs and witches hats and for bringing them all in and packing them away.
Without these volunteers, racing would not be possible. Thanks to
John Buckton, the club President, for conducting the Junior
program in the absence of our JDO who is away with Juniors in the Sydney
Road Championships.
Rider numbers were down at the
Randwick Botany Cycling club race at Heffron Park on Saturday 8 June 2002
due to riders competing in the Sydney Road Championships at Parramatta.
Thirteen A and B Grade riders
combined for a 30km event. John Kenny from Eastern Suburbs, Jerry Sowa
from the town of Gizycko in northeast Poland and George Pappas from the
Dulwich Hill club broke away mid way through the race and established a
300m lead on the main bunch. Joseph Sorby made a solo bid to bridge the
gap but finished out of the placings. In a hotly contested sprint Kenny
crossed first in a time of 45min 52sec and a quick 39.6kph average speed.
Sowa was second followed by Pappas in third place. The first B Grader
home was Craig Dempsey from the Eastern Suburbs club.
New club member Rob Allen starred
in the C Grade race over 28km. Allen is a triathlete and has joined the
club to compete in road races and criteriums. The 17-rider bunch stayed
together for most of the race with Sam Haeata finishing first in a time of
46min 27sec followed by Phillip Chippendale, Rob Allen and Dan O’Callegan
from the Sydney club.
Ten D Grade riders competed over
20km with Liam Fletcher finishing first in a time of 34min 9sec. Peter
Davison was second and Melanie Rassam third. The E Grade 14km race was
won by Kevin Blanchfield in a time of 38min 9sec.
Four junior events were run
starting with the U19 Time Trial over 2km. Liam Fletcher recorded a time
of 3min 21sec. Tyron Bicknell scored a time of 3min 34sec in the U15 2km
Time Trial. The U11 Time Trial over 2km was won by Andriano Maradini 4min
8sec with Nick Mellick 5min 13sec second. The 6km Handicap placings were
Liam Fletcher, Nick Mellick, Adriano Maradini and Tyrone Bicknell.
