What a great weekend. The weather was great, there were good turnouts out club rides, lots of participation in racing around Sydney and we had the first race in our inaugural club championships.

We had a good turnout for our Prospect-Roubaix ride. We are in the middle of winter and yet we are regularly getting 6 or more turn up for the ride. If only we could improve Doorny's selfie skills. 😀

A big group headed out for the Bobbo loop.

A number of club members raced at the LACC Tour Of August Stage 1 crit at Dunc Gray and Jerel David grabbed 2nd in B grade and evergreeen Stevie P took out D grade with a breakaway win. Well done to those guys. I hear Steve wasn't content with his effort in the morning and headed out to Heffron in the afternoon for the RBCC crit. Let the youngsters have a turn Steve. 😀

Panther and John Muirhead headed up the M1 for HDCC HEZ 100 and Panther nabbed himself a podium in D grade. Well done Panther.
