Mat Foley has returned to cycling after several years off, and is showing renewed enthusiasm for racing.  Mat is gaining strength each week, and was able to take out a win In C grade.  Craig Allen and Richard Clarke filled second and third.After recently completing the Tour De Cure, and raising well over ten thousand dollars individually for the cause, Sinclair Black returned to racing. Congratulations Sinclair on your fund raising efforts, we are proud to have you as a member of our club. With plenty of kilometres under Sinclairs belt he was good enough to take out B grade.    Young gun Nathan Hardaker finished second, while Glen O’Grady was all smiles on his new bike in third.

Dan Alcock was pushed all the way in A grade by Reece Edwards, but was able to win the sprint finish.  Nathan Chiswell crossed in third place.  Most aggressive rider of the day went to Aaron O’Grady who constantly attacked and had the bunch split by the second lap out of six.

B grade was given 90 seconds head start over a group of A graders including Nathan Chiswell in his return race.  Nathan drove the pack hard and coordinated a great chase to catch the B graders early in the second lap with three and a half to go.

The scratch markers of Dan Alcock, Chris Jahnz, Aaron O’grady and Reece Edwards had to try and make up 60 seconds to the pack of Chiswell, but never really threatened to catch up, and eventually gave up the chase.  Hopefully the boys will show a little more heart this week.

This left the combined group to fight it out for the finish.  With only 10klm to go Nathan chiswell attacked and the pack whittled down to the serious contenders of the day.  Greg Swan pushed himself to the limit and was unable to go with the pace up the climb to the finish at the top of Perrys hill.

The eventual winner was Sean Golding who powered away early in the climb and comfortable won ahead of Kiwi Chris, with Liam Warburton finishing a credible third.

The C and D grade riders all stayed together in their respective packs, and with their finish line halfway up Perrys hill it was going to be the freshest who would win the day.  Chris Robb, Craig Allen and Mat Foley took out podium honours in C grade, while Alan Miller, Geraldine Blomfield-Brown and Hugo Mayson stood on the podium in D grade.
