REPORT

 |
Randwick Botany's Stuart Colquhoun did a lot of work on
the front of A grade and managed to get away off the front a
couple of times. |
| |
|
|
 |
Pete "The Machine" McDonald bridges across to Stuart in
an attempt to get away. Spongee Jenkins was having
none of that though, as he turns up the wick to reel the two
escapees in. |
| |
|
|
 |
Good to see Dave Treacy back from Europe. Dave
hung in there despite the fact that he is still a little
under the weather with one of the "Lurgies" going around.
Left Dave takes the A grade bunch down the start/finish
straight. |
| |
|
|
 |
Here's A grade passing C grade into the Netball courts.
Rocky Fortuna was driving me mad calling out every 2
minutes, "Come and look at this one!" as he tried to outdo
my action shots. This shot shows how he gets his
"Close-ups". I didn't realise that he was standing in
the middle of the track to get them!! By the way Rocky -
They are still not as good as mine. |
| |
|
|
 |
Nash Kent from Clarence Street takes the A grad sprint
with Chris Jenkins second and Matt Lucas third. |
| |
|
|
 |
Frank Fortuna was so inspired by George Hincapie in the
recent Tour de France that he went out and bought a matching
pair of glasses. Left Frank "Hincapie" Fortuna stays
close to the front. So too does John Boles on his
left. |
| |
|
|
 |
Kev Black takes the B grade bunch into the Netball
courts. Kevie did lots of work and still got up on the
podium with a great second place. |
| |
|
|
 |
Chris Wright from Eastern Suburbs takes out the B grade
sprint. Just behind him is Kev Black followed in for
third place by Daniel Vanolini. |
| |
|
|
 |
There were plenty of attacks in all grades. I
guess that was because it was the first day in living memory
when the riders were not battling a force 10 gale.
Left Tayla Aitchison attacks up the pimple. |
| |
|
|
 |
Ian Maxwell from Dulwich Hill spent a fair bit of time
off the front of C grade. They were being a little
nasty to you Ian, as the bunch came past I heard several of
them muttering, "Leave him out there." Well despite
the bunch trying to make him suffer a while and then reeling
him in, he still managed to get up for a fine second place
behind Peter O'Connor from Easts. |
| |
|
|
 |
In case anyone was wondering about our sponsor Vantage
Freight and the corresponding logo on the front of our
jersey, here is my team time trial mate and CEO of Vantage
Freight, Dave "knuckles" Crampton leading C grade into the
Netball courts. |
| |
|
|
 |
No it wasn't my imagination that Dave was on the front
as he passed my camera location cause next lap he was "OTA"
I can tell you that the first two letters stand for "Out"
and "The". I will leave the letter "A" to your
imagination. |
| |
|
|
 |
A close finish between all 3 place getters with Pete
O'Connor first, Ian Maxwell second and John Greally third.
If you take any more RBCC prize money Pete, you will be able
to give up your day job. Congratulations Peter and
welcome to B grade (from the handicappers) |
| |
|
|
 |
The Juniors really stirred up D grade. One of the
many attacks but junior rider Aaron Bicknell reacts and
jumps out of the saddle to bring the escapee back. |
| |
|
|
 |
Big Matthew Hines, did it pretty tough in D grade.
Don't worry Matt, the handicappers have a bit of promoting
to do again with lots of riders needing to go up a grade.
D grade average was over 36kph. If C grade wasn't full
of B graders, D would have caught them. Matt was a
tower of strength at the recent State Team Time at Gunning.
From the 40 odd RBCC riders who competed, a big vote of
thanks to you Matt. |
| |
|
|
 |
Barry Doosey cruises in by a country mile to take first
place in D grade. Congratulations Barry and welcome to
C grade (from the handicappers) |
| |
|
|
 |
E grade action and John Siounis takes the E grade bunch
down the Heffron Park start/finish straight. No F grade
today, our Commissaire, Tony Horneman, elected to combine E
& F grades. Now before I get my weekly allotment of
phone calls complaining about the "Ring Ins" in particular
grades, etc, please be advised that Tony's phone number is
available on the contacts page. |
| |
|
| Well that was the way it was this week.
Till next week, bye for now............. |
