The NSW Junior Road Championships were held in Port Macquarie last weekend. With the national titles just around the corner, record numbers of juniors turned up for what turned out to be some fast and furious racing. Coffs Harbour was represented by Carla Westwood, Troy and Nathan Hardaker, Alex Beedie, Liam and Numa Warburton, Josh and Guy Leckenby. Thanks to their parents for the following reports...

Yes, that's right, 'yet another' set of home made motion rollers...A few months ago when it was raining and I didn't get out for my morning cycle (I melt if I get wet), I popped down to the LBS and purchased a set rollers. As I mentioned in a previous post, I found them quite difficult to use the first time especially after 3 glasses of chardonnay!!! I did however master them and decided to 'upgrade' them to the sliding ones as seen on YouTube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=AU&hl=en-GB&v=xaYDZ-RSOTA&feature=related.

The course consisted of undulations and one major climb, (long and red hillish). Vanessa was with the lead bunch until the last time up the climb where she lost 20 metres to the three that broke away. This 20 metres turned into 1 min 34 sec at the end when Vanessa crossed for 6th place. She was happy with her result and the racing klms as she prepares for the Glenn Inness to Inverell race.
