Recent Events:
Old Federal Highway Handicap (46K), Saturday 15/10/11: A fine and sunny afternoon enticed 45 starters to try their luck in a handicap. Bruce Jones performed yet another gladiatorial feat, holding a rampaging B grade pack at bay to win alone and unassisted. The poursuivants, survivors from an original pack of 12, comprised a starry cast of Francois Mossard, Reinhard Mauch, Michael Carr, Jason Quayle and Nick Boylan. But Bruce toughed it out and survived their courageous but too tardy enterprise. ( There were apparently no A grade finishers!)
So much for the gents. If there there had been a ladies' subdivision, its victor would have been Sue Frost who was not alone in F grade but also proved her toughness to finish well clear of Angie Wren, Vanessa Goodspeed and Linda Stals.
Many thanks to Paul Angelatos and his five assistants for a safe but exciting event. The full result sheet can be viewed via http://rms.actvets.cc/
Stromlo Crits Tuesday 11/10/11: Many thanks to Bryan McGlynn and Henry Beaverstock for managing the racing and the big turnout of 79 starters. A grade was an especially large group with 20 riders in pursuit of Paul Scherl. Other winners included a very fit Rob Diamond, an in-form Bruce Jones, the unstoppable Vince Dunn, newcomer Brendan Byatt, Bob Cruikshank and Johan Coetzer.

Australian Masters Games, Adelaide 9 to 14 October: Two Medals for Reinhard Mauch
Congratulations to Reinhard Mauch who convincingly won his age division (Cat. 7 60-64) in the Road Time Trial by almost two minutes over second-placed Peter Bertelsen of Victoria. In third place, another two minutes in arrears, was Darryl Miller of Western Australia. Reinhard's performance confirmed his recent success in this discipline in our own events. In the Cat.7 Road Race, Peter Bertelsen turned the tables on Reinhard who had to be content with second,ahead of Ron Hickson of Queensland in third place. Congratulations are also due to Patrick McNamara who finished fifth in his division (Cat;6, 55-59) of the Road Race.
