Armidale Cycling Club

For those who don’t fancy 7am starts on frosty Sunday mornings, Kenny, Ray et al will be leaving at the later time of 8am from now on.

Tamworth CC will be hosting the annual Nemingha - Nundle race this Sunday 19 May. Two race distances, 100km and 40km, with sign on from 8am at the Nemingha Hall, and race starting at 9am.

If you are planning on making the trip down (and why wouldn’t you because it’s a great race!) get your entry in to Kevin Bartlett this week (6765 2414 during business hours).

Lunch to follow the race at the Calala Inn.

Juniors were back in action this weekend with a good turnout featuring the Harris brothers, Alex and Sam King, Lachie Fittler, Cal Godwin, Ky Ho and Adam Bourke (good to see you back Adam!). After some good time trialling, Ryan Harris (”the boy they couldn’t handicap”) as usual won the 6 lap handicap race. He didn’t get things all his own way though in a two lap wheel race, having to settle for second place just behind scratch marker Ky, with Adam (also off scratch) third, and Alex riding well for fourth place.

The 100km Mt Yarrowyck handicap for 2013 has been run and won, with Darren Traill from Tamworth getting up for the win (well done Trailly!). Tamworth dominated the placings with Jeremy Bartlett 2nd and John Clissold 3rd, and Kieran Lewis winning fastest time in 2:23:58. 4th and 5th places went to Inverell riders Matthew Ellis and Curtis Pringle.

Best placed Armidale riders were Wilfried Keller (showing the benefits of a trimmed down figure and dedicated training program) in 9th place and Geoff Flatt 11th, with Dave Munday riding strongly to finish in 2:27:00.

Also good to see a strong contingent of riders from the Murwillumbah and Northern Rivers make the trip over and contribute to a great race.

The 30km race was won by Sam Munday, who also recorded fastest time, with Jo Wauch 2nd and Vincent Bush from Murwillumbah third.

Thanks to all those who helped make the day such a success.

Apologies for neglecting to point out that information on the 2013 Mt Yarrowyck road race is available here, and a flyer here.

So time to get your entries in to Bullo and start training.
