CONGRATULATIONS "Again" SUE HENRY

Sue took Gold in the Criterium and Bronze in the Road Race at the NSW Masters Championships at Moruya on the South Coast 15 & 16 May.  Good work Sue.
Sue was first Woman home and second place overall in the Cootamundra Haycarters Handicap on Sat 8 May 2010.

Sue was in the limit bunch and after about 3kms the bunch had gone from 20 to 8 and then at the top of the first climb there were only 6 riders including Sue.  They worked well together with everyone pulling turns and after the second hill there were only 4  left.  With 5kms to go they were told that the scratchies were only 1 minute behind.  Then they really picked it up and with lots of mutual encouragement crossed the railway tracks and hit the last left hand turn before the finish straight still in front of the fast finishing scratchies who eventually finished only 6 to 10 seconds behind them.

Well done Sue !!

NSW STATE TRACK TITLES

"DREAM TEAM ON THE PODIUM"

RBCC was well represented at the recent NSW State Titles.  It is with great pride that I tell you that EVERY RBCC member who competed went home with a State medal.

(Image left kindly supplied by Ernie Smith Photography)

The State titles started Friday night with the first event being the Team Pursuit.  The 2010 "Dream Team" of Chris White, Barry Mourad, John Buckton & Dave Stevens took the Bronze medal in the Over 150yr event. Personally I would like to dedicate this medal to the memory of Lionel Cox.  Lionel and Brad Cox spent about 10 years working on my start and for those who thought it was bad on the night, you should have seen it back then.  Other RBCC medalists included current world UCI champions, Gavin White & Ian Aitken.  World UCI Silver medalist, John Collette and oh yes, Charles Dalyrmple-Hay. 

On Sunday morning RBCC and Team Brennan IT, took out the prestigious Team Sprint...........more.

Second Weekend - Time Trial & Scratch races.  Seven (7) RBCC members competed which resulted in 6 State medals.  An awesome ride by Aaron Latinovic in the Masters 2 scratch.  Aaron tried to take a lap and didn't quite get there.  He spent 17 laps off the front by himself and the bunch reeled him in about 4 to go.  Just very unlucky not to have been in the medal tally.  For the rest of the team ........click here.

VALE LIONEL COX

It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of Lionel Cox.

Lionel passed away last night from pneumonia at St Vincent's Hospital last night.  The world will remember Lionel as a Gold and Silver medalist at the 1952 Olympic games in Helsinki.  I will remember him, as indeed will the vast majority of the local cycling community, as friend, mentor and coach.
