REPORT

	The Randwick Botany Cycling Club welcomed a contingent of Sutherland Shire Cycling Club riders to Heffron Park on Saturday 12 July 2003. Sutherland Shire riders performed well across all grades as they mixed it with the local riders on their home circuit. Fantastic to have you guys & girls. Feel free to come back anytime. You are always most welcome.

	It was good to see international mountain bike rider Paul Rowney (Eastern Suburbs) return to Heffron Park to race in A-Grade. Rowney placed third behind fellow Eastern Suburbs rider John Kenny and Simon Price from Hobart Wheelers.

There were plenty of attacks in the 22-rider B-Grade event, with four riders getting away with two laps to go. David Wells (Canberra) won followed by Peter Lynch (Randwick Botany), Keegan Aitchison (Southern Cross), Garry Libro (Sutherland Shire), Paul McKenzie (Sutherland Shire) and John Buckton (Randwick Botany). Pictured left are the four riders who got away and took out the first four places.

Twenty-one riders contested C-Grade that averaged 35.4kmh. The bunch sprint was won by David Matthew, second place was taken by Randwick botany rider Andrew Matthew (pictured left with his son in the podium shot). Third was a very tired looking Brad Lane. Here's a picture of Brad straight after the race. Brad couldn't stick around for the podium shot. D-Grade was won by Liam Fletcher (Randwick Botany).

Following a successful weekend at the Canberra Tour last weekend, Randwick Botany junior riders returned to Heffron Park this week. Eight riders competed in time trial and scratch races.

Now just a note for all the riders who place on Saturday afternoon racing at Heffron Park. Our club photographer, Tony Horneman gets very impatient. You only get one shot at it and Tony doesn't muck around. So if you are chewing your fingernails (Paul Rowney - A grade podium shot top left), too bad. If you are on your mobile phone (Pete Lynch B Grade podium left), too bad. If you don't make it to the podium (Brad Lane C grade podium). As long as Tony has three for the shot whether they be babies or otherwise, that's it. You only get one chance. D grade. Peter you should know better than to blink while Tony's taking the shot !. E Grade, well you were just too slow getting over to the podium. Don't give Tony your excuses about being 70 plus years of age or whatever, just pick up your act and sprint over there, OK.
