REPORT
|
|
|
 |
This
year's Grafton to Inverell winner, Pete "The Machine" McDonald turns on
an attack as Matty Lucas looks to see who's going with him. |
|
|
|
|
 |
The
strain tells on the faces of Anthony "The King" Spurgeon, Mark "The
Slapper" Robertson and relatively new A grader, Chris "Break a leg"
Young. |
|
|
|
|
 |
David
Tracey got away as everyone marked "The Machine" but then Pete launced
off the front of A grade and bridged across what I thought was an
impossible gap to once again gain contact with David. The two then
worked together till the end. |
|
|
|
|
 |
The
finish and Pete raises his hands in victory as Dave Tracey cruises in
for 2nd place. |
|

 |
A big
field contested the B grade event. Left the bunch is strung out as
the pace is put on over the first pimple and into the wind. |
|
|
|
|
 |
Kev Black looks very stylish as he tests
the legs of the B grade group up the formidable "Pimple". Richard
Westmoreland (2nd wheel) had a great ride for his first run in B grade. |
|
|
|
|
 |
Congratulations to Crispin Arnell with a fine sprint in
B grade narrowly edging out Nathan Saunders in second place and great
ride in third place RBCC junior Luke Davison. |
|
|
|
|
 |
C grade action as the bunch goes up the pimple.
Hang on ! What's Rocky doing at the back. He started in B
grade. |
|
|
|
|
 |
It wasn't long ago that the phrase, "Wait for Bucko" was
a regular cry. Lately it is "Wait for Rocky" Watch out
though as I am informed that the "Rock Star" is on a secret diet
and he will be ripping everyone's legs off in no time at all. |
|
|
|
|
 |
Ex RBCC member Con Karantonis who now resides in WA took
out the C grade sprint. We made Con feel right at home with strict
instructions to the field to let him win. Hope you enjoyed it Con.
Just joking you won it fair-dinkum Con. Good on you mate. |
|
|
|
|
 |
Left, Leeane Emery takes out the E grade sprint.
Good one Leeanne. |
|
|
|
|
 |
It was good to see Robbie Cater back on the bike after
having to take some time off due to illness. Team FRF looked
pretty formidable as usual. From Left Robbie Cater, Chris "Spongee"
Jenkins and Pete "The Machine" McDonald |
