Racing this Sunday
We will have another attempt at running the crit race this Sunday afternoon provided the weather stays as is. So far things are looking good so there’s every chance we will get a start. Racing will start at 4pm wi th nominations at 3.30pm.
The MyLaps timing system is in full swing and the transponders are selling quite well. It gives you lots of irrelevant information, perfect for all cyclists as we all want to know how fast we were.
As an added incentive, prize money will be on offer in each grade. This seemed to be quite a hit at the recent teams time trial so we are extending it (as a trial) to all of our club races. Don’t think you’re gonna pay your mortgage off with a few wins, but it will be enough to get a few coffee’s at Juliette’s afterwards.
See you all on Sunday arvo.

Townsville Junior’s to Represent QLD
(again)
It’s been a very hectic track season for the junior stars of the Townsville Cycle Club. On top of a successful Townsville Cup on Wheels, Summer of Cycling and the RockhamptonCup on Wheels, Jacob Restall, Amy Cundy and Matt Ross recently returned from the Queensland Junior State Track Championships with a swag of medals.
Jacob earnt himself a healthy bank balance after cleaning up at the various carnivals around the state. Then managed to back it up with a stellar performance at the State Titles. He opted not to contest the sprint rounds, saving his legs for his pet event, the individual pursuit. He qualified second fastest and managed to bring home the silver medal in a time that would of smashed last years winning time,such is the level of competition this year. He backed this up with a bronze in the scratch race after a solo attack saw him off the front for several laps.
Amy went on to take a medal in every event, including a silver in the individual pursuit where she qualified second fastest. She was also second fastest in the flying 200 but she had a tough battle in the sprint rounds. She managed to take the first round only to be pipped at the post in the final 2 rounds. This qualified her for the bronze medal ride off and she easily took that to add to her collection of medals.
Matt managed a cleansweep of gold medals in every event and also managed to smash the U15 2000m individual pursuit record, takinga huge 4 seconds off the previous record set by Jesse Kerrison in 2008. All this after a scare just before travelling when doctors thought he had a case of appendicitis. Lucky for him the doctors were wrong and he turned up fighting fit and stuck it to his southern counterparts.
So it looks like Townsville is a good breeding ground for endurance athletes and now the training really begins. Nations will be held in Melbourne this year from the 18th to the 20th ofMarch. Good luck to them all. Lets hope we get a break in the weather so they can get some track time in.
