A good roll up for racing saw everyone attentive to my words of wisdom at the start.  Well Matty Lucas listened anyway. Seventy Six seniors and  eight juniors enjoyed a fantastic afternoon's racing at Heffron Park.  Then a few of us backed up the following morning for the Vets at Heffron.

Great sprint taken out by Matt Lucas just pipping Simon Price

B Grade saw the now famous Sorby/Buckton manouvre tried again.  Many can remember it taking John Buckton to victory after poor Joe punctured with about 2 to go.  This is the way it works:  Joe gets out the front and drives and I watch that no one is catching us and continually give him words of encouragement. Unfortunately didn't work this time.

Well at least Joe managed a second place anyway.  It was good to see ex Randwick Botany member Stewart Baker having a race.  Stewart hasn't raced for about 5 years but managed to sprint home for third place.  A very tactical ride by Jacob Borger saw him take victory.

The C grade start line saw a few of the riders checking out each other's physiques.  Here, eventual 3rd place getter Shaun Ballesty compares his muscles with fellow C grader Frank Shean.  Obviously Frank has been doing many more sit ups in his training program than Shaun has.

A big field of 30 C graders looked pretty impressive.  Brad Lane's big kick eventually got him home first in the sprint.  Back to B grade soon Bradley !

Peter Davison, eventual winner can be seen all in black.  Alongside him in RBCC gear is Tony Aitchison.  Had to put a photo of Tony in, as he couldn't help posing every lap.  Peter had a great ride.  I knew he was going hard when he came up the side of B Grade.  Last D grader who did that was Peter Macdonald who is now riding A grade.  All I can say Pete is "Welcome to C Grade."

In a fantastic display of acceleration, Anna Fortuna blasted off the line in E grade and left the boys wondering what had happened.  The boys finally got their act together however and pulled her back.  Joe Gatt was first, Stormin Norman Jew second and Anna held on for third.

We don't know what he was eating, but Frank Fortuna sat there watching the races and chewed on something very bright and green and I could swear it occasionally glowed under the shade of the trees there.  I think he gave some to Dale as well so if Dale starts passing A grade next week we are going to be kind of suspicious.

Kind of flattered by this shot.  Found it amongst Rocky Fortuna's pictures.  Obviously he saw a magnificent pair of calves on an elite athlete and just couldn't help himself snapping off a picture.  Can't see any other reason that he would take it.

Here's the juniors as always ever attentive to the pearls of wisdom that I give them

It was good to see Emma Jones back racing together with a brand new bike.  Our expert "in house" mechanics set about fine tuning it for her.  Ritchie Jenkins casts a discerning eye over proceedings whilst Frank Fortuna evaluates a shorter stem.  Good news is that Emma looked a lot happier on the bike after the boys had tweaked it.

Matt Fortuna won the B grade scratch race and is looking better every week.  Here he is blasting off the starting line for a 2 kilometre Individual time trial.
