Chris White on the starting line is eager to go.
He just can't get enough of the combined A/B racing.
Congratulations to our winners, all three of whom are in the
RBCC Elite team. Well we will excuse Luke our U 17
rider but as for Nathan and Brent, Josh Marden could really
have done with a little of his team around him up at the
Hunter open. Let's get our ENTIRE team at the next
open eh guys?? |

Here's the cheer squad. Great to see Dane Firth
out and about. Dane suffered horrendous injuries when
he was knocked off his bike whilst in the breakdown lane of
Foreshore Road. As many of you know I too was the victim of
a car whilst in a bunch ride in the cycle/breakdown lane of
Southern Cross Drive. I often get asked, Who is
Carroll & O'Dea Laywers on our club kit? |
|
The answer is a very helpful
and professional legal firm that assists our club. In
fact Carroll & O'Dea are now sponsoring the Sydney Road
Titles to be run at Heffron Park on 7 May. One of the
partners of Carroll & O'Dea, Howard Harrison is a member of
Randwick Botany and is managing my accident case. Couple of points here: 1- Never
assume you are safe in the breakdown lane of major roads. 2-
If ever you do have a accident involving a motor vehicle
(and I hope you never do), it is much better to deal with a
solicitor who is actually a bike rider, does bunch rides and
who knows something about bikes. I can fully recommend
our sponors Carroll & O'Dea Lawyers. |

Not at all surprising to see
Andy Portess on the winners podium in C Grade. Andy is
really fit at the moment, in fact a couple of seasoned
veterans a bit of a lesson at the RBCC club championships
held at Dunc Gray as well. |

Our self appointed C/D grade correspondent, George
Takaris, filed this report:
" Not much news from me this
week, the pace was just too fast for me in C Grade and I
pulled out after 8 laps. Was too stuffed to notice what
was going on.
In D Grade, can you just
mention that Barry Mourad is always the bridesmaid, he's
always placing well but not winning. He will be up in C
Grade soon with me, he's on 18 points I think. Not much
time left to win!
Well I thought that George's comments demanded a photo so
here is big Bazza with the Bridesmaid bouquet. Second
again Bazza. I can tell you however that big Bazza
went out on Sunday in the RBCC club championship with
lucky number 13 on his back and cleaned D grade up.
Good on you Bazza !

Good to see Big Matthew Hynes
on the podium in E Grade. Those Sunday Waterfall rides
are really paying dividends Matthew. Keep up the good
work. Well in the absence of any other grade
correspondents and considering that I was in Newcastle and
didn't even see this week's racing, that's about all I can
say about this week. So until next week, stay upright. |
