The A Grade race was indeed exciting.  Our resident locomotive, Peter Macdonald pulled everyone around for a while until the going got a little too tough for most of A grade and a group of three, Peter, Nick Wood and Jersey Sowa crept away off the front.  With about two to go, Nick Wood attacked off the front and put about 100 metres on Peter and Jerzy.  This didn't seem to phase Peter too much as he just ground away eventually dropping Jerzy and clawing back about 50 metres of Nick's lead to claim second place.  I spoke to Nick after the race and he told me that Peter had him worried as he knew he was slowly pulling back his lead. Peter started the year in D grade. He is still improving week by week.  The mind boggles.

Above RBCC B Grade Stalwarts, Neil Morris leads Dave Mackey.  Good to see Brendan Ingram back after a long break off the bike.  I watched Brendan follow young Chris Guillan up the finishing straight with a big smile on his face.  I spoke to Brendan after the race and asked him what the smile was all about.  He told me that he was amused by the fact that he couldn't come over young Chris even though Chris was sprinting in his junior restricted gears.  Don't smile too much Brendan, Chris is a fabulous sprinter, his sprint finely tuned on the track.  A warning for you also Chris.  When Brendan is in form he is fast with a capital "F".   A couple more weeks and you are going to have BIG problems.

C Grade stalwart and ex President of RBCC, Dale Rockell rolls and lets FRF regular Laura Bartolozzi do a turn.  Shaun Ballesty can be seen in the middle of the action.  Two riders not pictured are Andrew Roirden and Tony Caruana who escaped the peleton early in the race.  Andrew, with a huge engine towed Tony around lap after lap slowly gaining on the peleton.  In the end though it was the sly old fox Tony Caruana who rolled Andrew in the sprint and claimed victory.  RBCC U15 Junior Luke Davison took out the peleton sprint for third place.

The Sydney boys drive the peleton along whilst little Tom Patton hides in the middle of the bunch.  D Grade saw yet another great sprint from one of our juniors (yes another trackie).  Little Tom Patton sprinting in his Under 15 restricted gears and gaining a fine second place behind winner Adam Shephard. 

Dave Briss took out the E Grade event but second place getter Sandi Jeffery continues to improve every week.  You have got trouble coming boys, let me tell you. Ross Fullerton came in third.
