Club News

June 2010

While we raced in perfect conditions on the Gayndah Road course a few of our club members were competing in the wet and windy conditions during the Metropolitan Championships hosted by the Balmoral Club in Brisbane.

Jay McCarthy had a good weekend.  Jay was second in the criterium on a very wet Saturday & followed up with second place in the road race.  Matt Wood a frequent visitor to the Hyne Timber Crit beat Jay in both events.  Excellent result and congratulations Jay.

Dylan was awarded the Teco Training Cup for the most aggressive rider in the U17 road race.  Dylan made a very early break in the 69 kms race & was caught in the last lap.  John Pelsma placed fifth in the criterium.  Richard Stewart raced in the Masters C.  Jordan Kerby raced in the open road race and it'll be good to see him at the Canelands race.  I'm sure his dad Michael will be pleased to be able to see Jordan racing.

1. Results Woocoo Hall Road Race Saturday 29th May

The opportunity to race over longer courses and the chance to prepare for the Canelands Classic proved enticement enough for 31 riders to front the starters gun on Saturday.  It was very encouraging to see such a good spread of numbers in each division (A - 8, B - 8, C - 7 & D - 8).  The A & B Grade riders raced over 60kms.  An out and back 35kms course was set for the C & D Grade contestants.

The A Grade race was decided in a sprint to the line.  The field stayed together for a large part of the journey and Dave Trevorrow won the sprint to the line.  Grant Robson finished in second place and Justin Black placed third.

Mark Fielding proved too hot to handle in the B Grade race.  Mark sprinted clear ahead of a fast finishing duo comprising Ron McKay in second and Simon Boss-Walker in third.

Because of distance restrictions for juniors in the racing rules the C Grade numbers were bolstered with the inclusion of junior riders, Mitchell Sutton, Joel Fitzgerald and Jared Gaskill.  Mitchell Sutton rode superbly to take out the C Grade race. The field was broken-up early and the juniors rode off from the bunch.  Out the remainder of the speedy junior trio, Joel was second and Jared third.

The D Grade riders were far more social in their approach to their race.  The bunch stayed together for the race and consequently it was decided in a sprint for the line.  Tyson Deller prevailed ahead of Nev Ransome and Nick Downes.

Thanks once again to all of our volunteers for all the support in follow vehicles, line judging and race set-up.

It's been a long time coming but finally we have the new club jersey ready for ordering.  I've attached copies of the new layout.

The difference is the addition of two new sponsors.  The Lennox Street Store an icon of Maryborough's Retailing history and Phil Dale's business has sponsored the jersey.

In recognition to the generous support the club receives from Hyne Timber each year their logo has been added to the jersey.

If you can let Mark Fielding know of your size & number of jersey/knicks by return e-mail ( mfiel26@eq.edu.au ) or directly order with Mark Fielding.  We want to order as soon as we can i.e. within the next two weeks.
