Report

I never thought I would see the day when Dave Early out-sprinted Dave Early and no it hasn't come yet.  Dave took a flyer on the bell and was able to hold off fast finishing Luke Davison.  Congratulations Dave.  Congratulations also to Laurie Robinson for a great third place in A grade.

Bit of controversy in B grade, and always hard with 4 grades on the track at the same time, but a group of about 6 were off the front and working hard.  Unfortunately, the chase A grade group were in the same place at the same time.  There was a series of front B passing A then A passing back and lots of crying foul by the B peleton.

At the end of the day though I was satisfied that the B lead bunch were doing their best not to get assistance from A grade and the calibre of the group with little powerhouse Sue "Shorty" Forsyth doing much of the work, would have stayed away anyway. 

C grade and  Shaun Ballesty who has been racing most Saturdays since he was a junior (and that is a LOT of years) gave the young ones a bit of a lesson.

Thanks to our marshal co-ordinator, Deb Roach who came down and assisted with lap calling.

Riders Please Note-

Don't forget that you must race in your club uniform, unless entitled as a registered member of a Cycling NSW or Cycling Australian registered or International team, to wear registered team uniform.  All male (non junior) registered team members will be required to compete in the  A grade event.  Female registered team members will be allowed to compete in B grade event.

See you Saturday.
