Rain Gods 2 - Beauie Worlds 0
Due to Noah's flood conditions this week, the rain gods have again beaten us. For safety reasons we are cancelling Beauie early so you can have a sleep in and then hit the turbo and dream of racing at Beauie.
If this rain continues we will arrange for Zwift and Sufferfest to create a Beauie circuit on their apps so we can get to enjoy our favourite course

Beauie World's Sunday 26th February - Chris Froome @ Beauie
Well that headline no doubt caught your attention. While Chris did ride with Harrison Bailey, one of our gun riders, he unfortunately can't be at Beauie this Sunday.
However, every other hitter in the region will be there to claim honours in the first Beauie for 2017. There are imitators in the crit racing scene, but there's only one Beauie - a perfect tight and fast circuit that has become the benchmark and Sydney's premier criterium race.
There will be 4 grades A-D, in a scratch race format.

Christmas Message to All Members
Folks here is a Christmas message on behalf of the club committee - all members will receive this via a Red and Black email too.
On behalf of the NSCC Committee we want to wish all our members a very happy and safe Xmas and New Year.
In recent weeks the cycling community has been saddened by serious injury and loss of life in cycling tragedies, and it's a reminder to us all that we need to be conscious of safety in this wonderful sport of ours.
Club Member Harrison Bailey - His Ride with Chris Froome
NSCC former Academy junior, club member and NRS racer (now with USA pro conti team) Harrison Bailey had the incredible experience of riding for several hours 1:1 with Chris Froome.
Here is his story - in his own words - courtesy of Ride Media.
There's also a YouTube link below:
The presence of Chris Froome brought to L’Etape what no one else could, a simple “hello” to anyone who acknowledged him along the road. Even something as small as being passed by Froome evoked beaming grins from fellow participants.
Beauie Results - 4th December
On this the first Sunday of summer, the atmosphere at Beauie was festive as the riders lined up for the final Beauie of 2016.
The Commissaire Phil Youdale decided to shake up everyone - especially those sally sit-ons who were planning to bludge then hit the bunch sprint - by announcing a four grade handicap.
The anticipation was palpable as everyone knew that a handicap at Beauie equals 45 minutes of sheer pain. And so it turned out.
Robert Hodgson Memorial Race - Report and Results
A top quality field (in all grades), perfect weather, and fast crit racing were the perfect combination to honour the life of NSCC legend Rob Hodgson. The 4th Robert Hodgson Memorial Race was a fitting tribute to Rob with the cream of Sydney and the Central Coast's bike racers competing for the ultimate prize.
With awesome prizemoney and prizes on offer - courtesy of our generous sponsors, MOITS, Thornleigh Autobody and Cyclery Northside - the intensity of racing was even higher.
