REPORT

A grade was combined again this week.

Brent Skippen managed to take it out this week closely followed by RBCC's Kris Koke. 

B Grade was fast and furious and the spectators increased as the race went on.

Just for the record, I got a flat tyre !!

D Grade and the Dulwich Hill Boys thought they had it shot to pieces but little did they know that RBCC have been secretly fast tracking our secret weapon, Chao Wu.

Now that we have taught him to go around corners and a few other secret riding skills which have to remain secret, he went out and gave them a hiding.  We expect before long that Milram really will pick him up and he already has the strip!!  He just needs a Colnago.
