Comments:	Dear Randwick Botany Members, A merry christmas to all from a former member who has seen the light again and has returned to the bike after an absence of 15 years. All the best for the new year and I hope to get to Sydney and race around the wonderful Heffron Park circuit. Still my favourite place to race. All the best, Peter Budd. P.S. Good to see the straight has been returned to its former length of 400m.( and don't eat too much over christmas) Me personally, I am trying to avoid the Jan Ullrich diet this year.

Comments:	i was a past member of this club, alot has changed since i had my accident in 96 i was 16, keith harris was the junior coach at the time who helped establish the juniors at the club on saturdays,it is a sad time i think to look at this site and to see his name not mentioned not once, he helped me a great deal to win in cycling and in life, he was a good man! it would be nice to mention his name or honour his name.(keith harris) David clarke mobile 0438070388 Well David, I don't think that your comments are quite correct. We just conducted our 10th Annual Junior Carnival. One of the features of the Carnival was the Keith Harris Perpetual Memorial trophy presented to the winner of the Men's Under 17 Elimination race and feature race of the meet. The trophy remains on display and takes pride of place in the trophy cabinet within the Clubhouse for all to see. It will be presented every year with the winner receiving a replica with Keith Harris's name enscribed on it. You can see the results and winner of the Keith Harris Memorial trophy at: http://www.randwickbotanycc.com/Results%20RBCC%20Junior%20Carnival%204%20Aug%202001.htm (top story on News page. If you then go to the News archieve you will find a story on Keith entitled, "Vale Keith Harris" at this address: http://www.randwickbotanycc.com/News%20archieve.htm. The Club does owe Keith a lot and we all have fond memories of him. He will never be forgotten because we will think of him every time we look at the trophy in our trophy cabinet and when it is presented every year at our Junior Carnival. - John Buckton Webmaster & President RBCC

Comments:	Hi All Firstly thanks very much to everyone who organised the Time trail day recently I think it was a great success and thoroughly enjoyed it. Looking to the future it would be great to say do them monthly, if you need any assistance organising and running these days pls. ask. Secondly I would like to thank Chris White for his article on Bunch riding, it was very useful for new members like me and I will take note in future on club rides. The most important comment he made was be prepared to offer or take criticism, hopefully though not to take too much!! Lastly I have entered some up coming open races and would like to get together with other club members to organise a co-ordinated front for the Club. It would be great if we could get together before race day and organise transport, accommodation if needed and perhaps training rides. I think the best way to publish who has entered what would be on the web site as most people nowadays have access to the web. For those who do not have access the web page could be printed and posted on the notice board at the club weekly. By doing this we can pool transport, perhaps get better deals on accommodation and at least get some training together. Any assistance I can provide would be gratefully given. Thats all for now, except to say thanks for everyone at the club for their recent efforts in bringing the club forward by trying things like the timetrail day. Mark Robertson

A bit puzzled at his 70th being held 3 November, half a century ago his birthday was 5 December. At that time I used to enjoy racing with him and a Botany Club member George Harris. Best Wishes to the club, Mighty web page, regards to Lionel and Shirley. Ex St George, Marrickville, Canterbury. Rider.

I was the long haired(weren't we all then?) Canadian who terrorised the C graders. I really enjoyed myself and have been coming to Oz for the past 4 years with bike, althoughnow I'm in Port Macquarie, along with Graham Seers, and have re visited Heffron Park a few times to do laps in memory. Best regards to all there Steve

Comments:	The latest news on Mike Howarth was excellent. It was a relief to know that he's survived and getting better from such a horrendous hit and run. Mike and I raced together at Heffron Park and the old Camperdown Velodrome around 10 years ago. Back then he was a competitive racer, and won RBCC A-Grade Crits with a mean sprint. He was a great sportsman and gentleman. I'd lost touch with him, and my heart sank when I read that Mike was the guy that had been hit. Mike, if you read this message, my prayers are with you, and congrats on becoming a family man! Steve Bligh (now 45 and racing again)...

Comments:	Bryan Martin Neil Dewhurst told me this morning that Bryan Martin died 2 weeks ago......... I burst into tears. One of the many great things I loved about Bryan, was his no bullshit way of being, he was the real deal, all heart, the best sort of bloke. Neil's theory (after going to the funeral), was that he had a coronary, which caused him to crash... which makes sense, because he was such a fine bike handler, I just can't see him crashing on his own. I will miss him. another day martin renwick 16 Walter St Bondi Junction NSW 2022 Australia Mobile +61 407 492 518 Tel/Facsimile +61 2 9387 3474 martinrenwick@swiftdsl.com.au

Comments:	I am very sorry to hear about Brian Martin. When I first started racing at Heffron Pk he was a source of constant encouragement and just a terrific all round bloke. He did some crazy stuff but always laughed it off. I remember him overtaking the bunch in the Bathurst Open at about 90kph downhill with a flag waving marshall at the bottom to warn of gravel on the corner of a T intersection. He did not back off for a second and nearly held it up as he pedalled about 5 metres sideways in gravel looking for traction before going into the scrub for some distance before crashing into the ditch. As we came past he was just popping his head up above the edge of the ditch laughing and I seem to remember him getting back on about half an hour later. He was just a brilliant allround person with a very individual and uncopyable style [stubbies, singlet and sloppy joe were his normal winter 5 - 8 degrees C riding attire]and absolutely fearless bike rider who will be sadly missed. Very Best Wishes to all his friends and family.

I also remember the fantastic ride in the State Mens pointscore at Tempe Velodrome with Martin Millwood in (I think) the late 80s. The last time I saw him he was riding his tandem with his girlfriend in the 100K at the Alpine Classic in Victoria

Comments:	I would like to convey my heartfelt thanks to each and every person who ever rode with my brother Bryan and particularly Randwick Botany CC. From the moment he got into the saddle and took part in his first race at 13yrs of age he had found his “thing” in life. He lived and breathed cycling and was always at one with the world when on his bike. Your camaraderie and support kept him fully engaged in cycling and on the streets in the best possible way for the next 31yrs. He was a dependable, solid sort of a bloke who stuck firmly to what he knew and loved ........his bike and his mates. Thankyou to RBCC for being the solid foundation upon which his life was built and a huge thanks to all his mates, he loved you dearly…. though I’m sure he’d hit me for saying that. I remember following him down Bulli Pass in my Mums mini when I was 13 years old……..it was one of my scariest childhood memories coz minis aren’t built to go that fast! I remember my Mum and I following him around the track and road circuit in the 70’s and always being so very, very proud of him. I remember our whole family and the clubs’ despair, when at the height of his riding career, he had that awful accident at Wiley Park which left him with 5 severed nerves in his shoulder. He didn’t despair and was back in the saddle 6 weeks later with his “useless” arm strapped to the handlebars and determined to get out of C grade! That pure grit and determination got him back more use of his hand and arm than the Drs ever thought possible….. and out of C grade! These qualities are what made him the man he was and I am proud to be his kid sister. My thanks also to the Samford Velos for organizing and supplying bikes and gear for the interstate riders that rode in the “Guard of Honour” at Bryan’s funeral. It was so fitting, so right and so moving for all who knew him. Huge thanks to his darling Sue for having enough love and true grit of her own to lead the bunch and even enough bravery for a spot of humour. She said to me “Bryan would have hated this……..he never liked being at the back of the bunch”. Keep riding girl, he’ll always be with you while you are on your bike. I wish I could find more ways to say thank-you to you all for being part of his way too short a life. Wherever he is there are a few things I am absolutely certain of……he will still be in the saddle, he will still be wearing stubbies, and he will always be looking out for his mates. Rest in Peace Bryan

We were deeply touched, and humbled, by the numbers of friends that Bryan had and the wonderful level of support Sue, Di and I received from the whole cycling "family". It really does help to know that Bryan will be missed by more than just us and that the memories of good times with him are shared by many others. Thank you all again.

He has left great memories and a love of cycling with us all - from giving little kids the ride of their lives on the back of the tandem to leading the sprint back for coffee. Mate you will be sadly missed - thanks for all those rides. Your mate Johnno. Sue and Max - our thoughts are with you.

Comments:	We too have been deeply shocked and saddened by the sudden departure of Bryan.As a rider with the Samford Velos we recognised and appreciated him both as a highly skilled cyclist and as a human being. However, it was not until his funeral, where we met the Sydney contingency, that we realised the depth of his qualities. He would say that it is not how expensive the bike is or how fancy the clothes are that make a cyclist but what is in the heart.Bryan had the biggest heart of us all. Our thoughts are with his family and in particular, Sue,during this difficult time.

Comments:	I am absolutely shocked by the death of Bryan. I can remember Bryan in 1983 when my dad used to take me to Heffron to race. I was about 8 years old at the time. Bryan was a fantastic down to earth guy. He would talk to anyone and he had no pretenses. One of my fondest memories of Bryan was on a tuesday evening around the 1993-94 summer criterium series at Heffron. The race organiser who had known Bryan since the early eighties at least insisted Bryan not be allowed to race because he didn't have "the correct uniform" (stubbies and blue singlet)to race. Bryan paid no mind to the egos and went out there and gave A grade a real work out. Mind you he was around 35 at the time. Bryan would encourage the younger riders a lot and often when he was in a bunch with you on a training ride, he would teach you(or force upon you) good bike control skills. He would ride up to someone and throw his hand on their back and turn around and have a converstation with the person behind. I think at times he assumed other were as capable a bike handler as himself. Bryan will be missed tremedously I am sure. My condolences go out to his family and loved ones. There should be a memorial set up at Heffron. Could this be suggested at the next club meeting? --------------------------------------- I am told that one of the main reasons that Bryan wore the "Stubbies" was because of the very race official you mention and I wont mention any names (F.C). However to answer your question, yes our committee is looking at a Bryan Martin memorial, most likely a "stubbies" race at one of our opens. We are working on it. ----- Webmaster

Comments:	I'm a bit late commenting on Bryan's passing, and I have to thank Shaun Ballesty for giving me a call and letting me know at the time, but I would like to mention one thing Bryan did in the club road champs at Yanderra back about '84 or '85 - he turned up sans bike shoes! I guess we've all done it once, and it's a right pain - especially when you've driven 100km to get to the race. So he rode in his runners, laughing it off (this was the era of straps and toe clips, so it's not sooo far fetched). The bunch was nevertheless amazed that he stayed with them, even more so when he won! Not the only time Bryan beat me but certainly the most memorable! Of course it was Bryan's nature to be affable and generous. My last, precious memory of him is of his seeming desperation to say "hi" to me at Dunc Gray as I was leaving the track, circa 2000. I thought he was about to leap out of the stands, such was his enthusiasm! I'll leave it there. All the best to everyone at the club, I'll get back to Heffron and race as soon as I can (only been 9 years or so, seems like yesterday!).

He crashed after only five miles and lost skin, blood and the colour on his Colnago. It is a painfull job to be his coach in cycling paradise Belgium. I'm thinking that he has to drink some belgian beers,and to eat our very good food, wafers and chocolade, to stay better in balance at 50 km/h.

Comments:	Both myself and my wife were shaken severely about the news of Bryan. I can truely say that I have lost my best mate. We miss him dearly. I have fond memories of Bryan ringing me in the afternoon and asking to camp on the couch for the next couple of days, turning up late at night with nothing but his bike and the clothes on his back. The first thing said as he walked thru the door was "whats to eat" We had many memorable moments on the bike like leading 20+ riders round a round-a-bout whilst a highway patrolman looked on and Bryan smirking on. He was the bestman a our wedding and that friendship and kindness can never be replaced. Your mate John

Comments:	My sincere and deep condolences to Bryan's family...I have fond memories of Brian and Frank Concecaio fighting it out (both verbally and physically) whilst racing alongside them (me as a young RBCC Junior) in the Heffron Park Crits. Bryan always had time for us younger riders with advice always given and welcome by us - I will miss your riding style and apporaoch to racing...keep on riding Bryan. I will come back to Sydney and race the Crits again....one day - Frank Schiavo

Comments:	It was sad to read about the needless deaths caused by motor collisions. What can you suggest re safe cycling and an informative web page re cycling in Sydney? Are there any bike paths? My son is a study abroad student this semester at UNSW at the Randwick campus, and I am worried about his bicycling in Sydney given the volume of traffic, etc. What is a good bike shop for purchasing a helmet near the UNSW Randwick campus? Thank you, Laurie Parker

Comments:	Hey! :) Good to see the club is still active. I myself went home a few years ago to find the local cycling club. "Mudgee Cycle Club" Has vanished. I doubt there are those that remember my name. But the member's of your club surely remember ours. Get smiling, and keep riding! :) Cheer's. A Long Lost Cyclist. Shane

Comments:	My Grandfather, Albert Walker, was a champion bike rider with mascot. i have a photo of him on a bike dated 1913 but no history of his time with the club. is there a book or any history? Am more than happy to pay costs, chris Stancliffe Sorry Chris, Not much history documented on the club. We spent a fair bit of money on research which yielded very little. There is a bit about the Club's history here: http://www.randwickbotanycc.com/club_history.htm Be happy to put your grandfather's photo on the history page if you send it down. Cheers Webmaster
