Last night of RAW -16/09/11 bike transport

[Eleri]

Last night of RAW. Everyone should come along.

Mike C would love it if someone can take his bike to RAW on Friday night. He can get a lift with me but I can't fit the bike in. If you can take his bike can you post here and PM him or something?


I'll be missing the Swans final. Hope they can win without me.

I'd love to be there but can't miss the Swans...

Thanks for posting Eleri. I've secured a lift to the Velodrome, but not home.

Can someone give me a lift to the German club afterwards?

Congratulations DHBC - another club win at Raw !! From a club that had less than 5 riders at the track a few years back to being the club that won the points challenge by over 1000 points in 2011 !! For me it was great to see the number of new track riders join our club who filled up the ranks of Div 4 and 5. Those divisions were a lot harder this year than when I started, with many riders I recognise ride much higher grades on the road.

There were too many great performances to mention all so I'll just congratulate everyone, and make a special mention that we almost got a podium finish in all divisions. Eleri did a great job placing top 5 in Div 5, Lizanne finished 3rd in Div 4, James Fowler who absolutely had a cracker season finishing 2nd in Div 3. Not sure about Div 2 - I thought one of the Bernard Beer boys got up in this one? Even if they didn't, for guys that started in Div 4 this year, Bernard Beer boys made there mark with some fast tracking up to Div 2. No one in Div 1 - but I must say Alex Chubbsey did a fantastic job in several Time Blasters throughout the year.

It was great racing this year in all divisions, so hope more of us are up for it next year.

Yeah great series

Hey Timmy, I forgot to mention that you came 7th in A grade - great effort considering all the hard core sprinters in that group.

That's awesome Tim.

And that in Div 3 we had 3 people in the top 10, apart from James Fowler in 2nd, Nathan Garard came 6th (and probably would have come 5th if he hadn't missed the last week due to nuptials) and Joanne Troutman in 9th.

Div 5 we also had 3 people in the top 10 - Andrew Belford in 8th and new rider Shane Edwards in 9th. Especially good for Shane who only rode 6 weeks or something and pretty much won most races he went in.

Jo - you had a great RAW, you are DHBC's highest point scoring woman in a higher division but was the 2nd highest woman at RAW behind only Lise Benjamin (World Masters record holder). Most weeks you placed in something and no easy feat in Div 3. That's a very impressive result!!

lol mine was a war of attrition! I would have moved up a spot if I hadn't lost my win to a disqualification!

After taking home his first RAW victory tirian didnt have much luck today that the Goulburn.

"Barely out of the first corner, the race had its first casualty, with local favourite Tirian McManus (NSWIS) crashing hard, and was forced to abandon. More misfortune came just a few kilometres later, this time with an in-form Ben Kersten (Jayco-2XU) puncturing just as the day’s escape was going away."

from cycling news.

[JoTheBuilder]
