National Titles 2008                            

The NSW Veterans Cycling Council hosted the 2008 National Titles in Dubbo, NSW from Friday 26  September to Sunday 28 September 2008. Events were contested included  Time Trial, Criterium and Road Race Championships. The Road Races and Time Trials were held at the picturesque village of Wongarbon, only 15 kilometres from the centre of Dubbo while the Criterium races were contested on a closed street circuit in Dubbo itself.  The road race / time trial course was on a genuine road course which is NOT flat but undulating and  provided an excellent racing experience. 

The weather was perfect for the three days of racing, and the countryside was looking as good as it gets.  Not that a lot of the competitors took the time to check out the scenery, as the racing was fast and furious.

Thanks to all 75 competitors who entered and came to Dubbo to race.  I am sure most people enjoyed the courses and the competition.

Thanks also to all the Dubbo volunteers, who set up signs and barriers, stood at various road intersections and turn points, and put up tents and banners.  We would not be able to hold an event like this without your help, and so a big THANK YOU from all the organisers and competitors.

The Russell Mockridge Trophy for the Time Trial was won by Bill McConnell from Torquay in Victoria.

The fastest time was done by Roy Clark from Lilydale in Victoria, who completed the 25k undulating course with an average speed of 39.7 kph.
