Only the keenest cyclists
registered for the Randwick Botany Cycling Club 20km Handicap race at
Heffron Park on Saturday 29 June 2002. Almost gale force southerly winds,
passing showers and temperatures not much more that 10-degrees Celsius set
the scene for a challenging race.

first with new club members Emma Stuik and Ben Still riding strongly.

improve her criterium racing skills. Ben Still broke away and rode solo
for 12km until caught by the bunch. The 9-rider C Grade group stayed
together until caught by A and B Grade at the 10km point.
