Nice report! Well done to Michelle. Keep the compacts, though, despite what people might advise. I rode compacts both days too, and happily kept up...

James Rogers

Aren't you riding elite, Pete?

James Rogers

Sadly I'm as sick as a dog and out of the race...

Sorry to hear that John. I hope you don't mind if I assume your identity for the handicap?

James Rogers

Thanks Liam, might be an option if we can get confirmation from CNSW? (Although presumably, because it is a state champs, you only get one chance to win).

I suspect we'll be well below 40kph average as well!

James Rogers

Just a note that Colin will be away, and I am unable to make juniors training this week. All is not lost, however, Eleri will run a shortened juniors session from 6pm—7pm . The older juniors (especially the ones racing RAW), might be best served training with the seniors, at least for this Wednesday...

Taku, Rohan and Tom B are racing the Jnr Hunter Tour this weekend. Three stages – ITT, crit on Saturday, and a road race on Sunday. More details here.

James Rogers

Oh so very sore today

Anyone who missed Dougie's dash for the last points in the combined C&D grade points race—he went out on his own and stayed out—missed one of the gutsiest solo efforts in recent memory. Really impressive, you should be sore.

James Rogers

Luke Rattray's licence (JB13 LACC) was found just before the awards on Saturday. I believe it was given to another LACC member. If anyone can recall who it was given to, or knows where it is, please let myself or Richard Rattray know (ratt@zip.com.au). Thanks.

James Rogers

Blue skies!

We are still looking for some people to help out on the BBQ. Short shifts available!

James Rogers

Twist my arm.

James Rogers

Just got a call from Cycling NSW—the 2014 NSW junior road camp (u15-17) was cancelled this morning due to lack of interest. This is a real shame, as those that have been previously can attest to what an excellent program it is.

James Rogers

Great report, John. Taku's in for the Hunter Tour, entries close this coming Sunday.

James Rogers

For additional zest and spice, Simon Bolton will be joining the discussion, and elaborating on: - Mountain bike racing as a pathway to road racing; - His experiences on the NRS tours, from within the team car; - Junior Tours (info for parents/guardians, and why I shouldn't be in charge of booking th...

James Rogers

After careful consulting with the weather experts, we've reluctantly made the call to postpone the Track Open.

The weather conditions are degrading, potentially unsafe – unpredictably wet, very windy, not to mention unseasonably cold – and we're not all Belgians.

Hi All, Colin took a tumble putting the pedal to the, er, wood at Dunc Gray last night* and won't be able to do training this week – the good news is that he is okay; but the even better news is that his new track bike only has minor scuffs.

I'm intending on going, and probably taking/torturing Taku on the Challenge. He doesn't know that yet.

The new 205 / 250km courses are up. The 205km has a shorter Corin climb, and covers Mt McDonald both ways (start and finish); the 250km goes to the end of the tar on Brindabella Rd, on top of the usual diversions and instead of the Corin Dam turnaround. Looking at the predicted temperature range, I ...
