Race results and Pointscore

       A reminder to all riders of the need to obey ALL road laws during races - we are very fortunate to have the use of local roads for our races, and DO NOT need to have residents complaining about riders strung across the road, especially in the finishing straight. Riders ARE NOT to ride 4 or 6 across the road as it endangers everyone. Also, if you haven't worked a turn at the front, you have no real entitlement to be up there in the sprint. It's very poor sportsmanship and very frustrating for the riders who have done their fair share of the work, to see fresh riders sprinting past them in the finish. This isn't Le Tour, and you're not Robbie McEwen!

We endeavor to run all races in accordance with the AVCC racing rules.   For those interested in the AVCC racing rules. please click on link below.

Winter  Race Season

A sad end to the season with a fall resulting in pretty bad injuries to Col Jones and Raphael Chapman in the last kilometre of the last  weekends race.  Col suffered bad lacerations to his face, particularly to his cheek and Raphael a suspected dislocated shoulder.  We all wish them a speedy recovery.  Those riders who stopped to render assistance were given bunch time.

Poor Liz Meredith saw her Gold Medal hopes disappear when the Cooper bunch made the junction and was relegated to 2nd in the Club Championship behind Mick. Phil Harrex had to beat Jeff Sargent by six places to wrest 3rd place from him but Jeff , after consistent performance all season hung on to his position by 1½ points.
