REPORT

An early break saw 4 cyclists go off the front of A grade. Whist he rode very corageously, the going got a little bit hot for Dave "Jacko" Jackson and he went back to the peleton.  Luke Davison was screwing his head around at every opportunity to watch the escape.  Just when I thought he was going to have to book in to see a chiropractor he launched off the front of the peleton and got accross some incredible distance in about half a lap to join the break (A OPEN Luke !!!)

So with the fastest sprinter we have in the club now away with the front group, it was little surprise who eventually won the race.

B Grade was also subject of an escape with Alan Hainsworth and Cameron working well together.

Cameron just too strong in the sprint.  Although you can see in Alan's face that he threw everything into it.

Fourth place was highly contested and extremely close.  I hardly had the heart to tell them after that sprint that none of them got on the podium.

C grade was unbelievably leisurely at 33.5kph average speed but in the end Nick Issac won by a country mile in the end.  Great ride by Wayne Goold to come in second.

Leeann thought she needed some time trial practise so she rode off the front of D grade and just kept going.

Rebecca Fortuna had a few good results in the Junior races and it looked as thought she enjoyed herself.
