Report

What a fabulous A grade event with just shy of 30 riders.  The bigger bunch equated to a bit faster pace than normal with an average speed of just over 42kph.  Liam Kelly must have been feeling pretty happy in a good working break of 4 about 300 metres off the front of the A grade peleton before Luke Davison decided to blast off the front of the peleton and bridge the gap.  The rest is history.

B Grade and it was "Clash of the Titans" as three of RBCC's best sprinters went for it.  Angad timed it best though and was first to the line.

C Grade and Avril Swan took a flyer 2 laps to go.  In perhaps the gutsiest ride of the day, Avril despite having not much of a buffer in front of the bunch, was able to hold the gap right to the finish line.  Congratulations Avril.

D grade and it looked like last weeks winners were going to battle it out once again as they swapped off turns, 2 a way.  However Shaun Falzarano had not given up and got across to the boys about 2 to go.  In a move reminiscent of Luke Davison's A grade victory, Shaun was able to take the sprint and relegate last weeks victors to second and third.  Where was the rest of D grade?  Well unfortunately they were blown to pieces by the pace set early by young Brynn Bull.  In fact guys, all three of you have become a little too strong for D grade and hence congratulations and welcome to C grade.

Thanks to Bob Bykerk who took some fabulous photos on the day.  They can be viewed on Bob's Facebook page:  http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150785611203944.434286.556708943&type=1&l=744abccec4
