Friday – Track @ Newtown<\/strong><\/p>\n

8 riders turned out, but with 1 escaped dog needing rescuing (?)\u00a0only 6 riders raced.. and as no Hobart Wheelers were present, well, we\u00a0held the fort and organised some races.\u00a0\u00a0Andrew took out the 10 lap scratch race with Michael coming a close 2nd,\u00a0myself in 3rd and Glen in 4th. Ah, next we held a sprint derby complete with heats and finals.. the end results were.. 1st Ben 2nd Glen 3rd Michael 4th Clint 5th Andrew 6th Mat. It was a fun night, Mat Grundy had his first ever crack at track and rode well.. and we’ll all be out there again this friday so come along!<\/p>\n

Saturday – Advocate Newspaper<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

To the\u00a0Advocate readers who overwhelmingly responded in the affirmative to the newspapers poll question, ‘should bicycle riders be banned from major roads?’ ..wake up! Shame on the North-West Coast! : (<\/p>\n

Sunday – Mersey Valley Devonport Cycling Club Carnival<\/strong><\/p>\n

Attended the MVDCC Carnival on Sunday. Great event.. but one bad fall in the womens Keiren stopped racing for several hours and the program had to be cut short. I don’t know\u00a0who\u00a0the rider that fell was or what injuries she sustained but I hope you recover and are back on track soon! Ah, a few riders from Hobart turned out (Justin x 2 &\u00a0Andrea) and we all made the finals of our respective events (1000m & 2000m), I think Justin McMullins may have placed 4th in the 1000m but I may be wrong? (geez those NW boys are quick!!) Cheers to the blokes from the MVDCC who help with pushing, I owe you a beer!<\/p>\n

But most exciting was what I found under the grandstand.. A roller racing set-up! Took a few pics for reference and asked a few questions.. and as a result, we may have secured the first parts for our BnC R.R build!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
