REPORT

Randwick Botany Cycling Club welcomed disabled athlete Will Elrick to Heffron Park, on Saturday 29 June 2003. Elrick, who rides with one leg, lined up the C-Grade bunch for a 32km race around the park. “I raced in B-Grade last week and the pace was high, so I thought I’d try C-Grade this week” he said prior to the starters gun. Elrick stayed with the C-Grade bunch for most of the race that averaged 35kmh. 1000m-velodrome track racing is Elrick’s specialty.

Will is aiming for selection in the 2004 Australian Paralympic Team like our own team mate and club captain, Janelle Lindsay who is hoping to compete in the AWD tandem track events with visability impaired co-pilot, Lindy Hou. “It’s great to see disabled athletes mixing it with able bodied riders at club events” Club Vice-President Tony Horneman commented after the race.

Randwick Botany riders Robert Cater and Chris Jenkins (both junior riders with restricted gearing), broke away in the A-Grade 40km event, with Jenkins finishing first and Cater rolling across the line in second place. Tom Brook (Parramatta) won the sprint for third followed by Alan Bozunovic (Eastern Suburbs) and Saxon Jones (Eastern Suburbs). The average speed for the race was over 40kmh.

Pictured left, the chasing A Grade peleton. Mick Cohen on the front with little Mark "Slapper" Robertson tucked in behind. George Papas from Dulwich Hill clumb at the right of the photo wearing his trademark pink jersey.

There was plenty of action in the B grade race. Left, eventual winner Oliver Scott leads Dominic Kennedy, Robert Dickerson (Easts) with John Buckton tucked behind Robert, 4th wheel.

Club President John Buckton claimed his usual fourth place in B-Grade. But Oliver Scott (Randwick Botany) put in a huge effort to just beat Dominic Kennedy (Randwick Botany) and Mark Felton (Central Coast). There has been much comment lately about whether John Buckton is purposely placing 4th every week to avoid points towards A Grade. We asked winner Oliver Scott what he thought.

C-Grade was won by Matthew Tabone (Marconi), followed by Jonathon Hogard Randwick Botany), Jim Eades (Southern Cross), Brian Funston (Randwick Botany), Brad Lane (Randwick Botany) and Fleur Jolley (Eastern Suburbs). Pictured left, Fleur gives the guys a bit of hurry up and does a turn at the front.

D-Grade was taken out by Peter Heywood (Randwick Botany) with Mike Axton (Hunter Valley) second and Peter Foulsham (Waratah Veterans) third. Pictured left Ritchie Jenkins in action. Ritchie you can get out of cruise mode now and get on the drops.

Fourteen junior rider competed in a 4km Time Trial and Scratch races. Pictured left is Tom Murdoch winner of the A Grade scratch race. Tom Patton, winner of the B Grade Scratch race and Sam Buckland, winner of the C Grade scratch race. See full results left of the report.
