REPORT

Last weeks B grade winner, Dave "Jacko" Jackson announced to me half way through the race, "I'm feeling crook Bucko".  This photo was taken shortly after that comment.

Dave foolishly thought that his RBCC team mates, like the other clubs who regularly priactise a little team tactics, might let him get away.  It's every man for himself at Heffron Jacko, as he soon found out when the train (all RBCC members) started swapping off turns to get him back.  Well at least there was some team work in that move.

Well Dave truly must have been crook as he only manged a third this week in the sprint

Better luck next week Jacko.

As for the other grades, our resident photographer, Rocky "Snaps" Fortuna only took about 200 photos this week.  I culled them down to about 60.  I am fairly confident that you will be able to find yourself in the photos below.

Enjoy:
