National Masters Update - Harro Morgan and Richard Spinks Medallists
News update from the National Masters in Griffith over the weekend.
In the MMAS10+ crit and road race that legend of the bitumen - Richard Spinks - won double gold on the weekend. Spinksy is peerless in the umm slightly more aged end of the masters categories, and still loves to win.
In the MMAS1 ITT, Harro (green bar-tape) Morgan won silver, being edged out from the gold medal by just 3 seconds - soooo close.
Congrats to these two medallists - photos of Harro below and will attach one of Richard soon.
Racing this October Long Weekend - Beauie on Monday 3rd
Folks - this weekend's racing options centre on the best crit racing in Sydney on Monday 3rd October - yes it's Beauie.
With some of the old geezers away in Griffith for the National Masters, it's playtime for the young guns (your humble author excluded) to race at Beauie on Monday for some fast furious (but safe) crit racing.
This weekend will also see the CCCC boys and girls proudly wearing their new race kit which I must say looks pretty schmick.
Racing This Weekend - 24/25 September
After the massive success of the NSCC warriors last weekend especially Tom Green, Angus Calder, Harro Morgan, Simon Davies, Harrison Bailey and Marcus Culey in National Capital Tour, there is more racing this weekend.
The usual road convicts will be heading down to Heffron Park Saturday afternoon at 3pm, to again show those south-siders that NSCC is the club that simply lives to race. There's a core group who go down every Saturday, so if you fancy a fast loop circuit crit (that is almost as good as Beauie), join the club riders down there - signon at 2.30pm
