RROTY Round 8
The seasons turned quickly, this time Dangarsleigh turned on the sunshine and the tradition head wind out tail wind home was in in full force. Tight handicapping meant that the final catch was made on Richie’s favourite place, up powerline hill. Dropping Andy and Hugh like a bag of spanners in the process. First Name…

2026 Andrew Swan Memorial Road Race
What a day of racing! 23 riders from all over the state gathered on Dangarsleigh Rd ready to race until they ran out of tarmac then race back again. The course was described as Roubaix-esk but with hills. There was even some puddles on the road, nobody knows where they come from. Today was a…

RROTY Round 7
What would a Boorolong race be without a head wind? Slightly more pleasant. But why have race 15km uphill into the wind when you can race 20km, uphill, into the wind before the turn around. PC, Jacky and Wilko left on go with Andrew and Billy leaving shortly (8 minutes) later. Houlty, Roddy and Hugh…

RROTY Round 6 Dangarsleigh
The last winter round of the RROTY competition and we finally got a cold and wet race. This must have suited the Scottish lads as it was the first race in a long time with both Roddie and Robbie taking to the start line. Houlty and Hugh sprinted it out in the final dash to…

RROTY Round 5 Long Swamp
9 Riders took to the start out on Long Swamp Road. A stiff headwind on the way out made people wish for a set of arm warmer. Richy carved his way through the field catching then soon after dropping the 8 minute group one the first lap, eventually taking the win. 16 minutes later Peter…

Race Results – RROTY 4 Dangarsleigh
“Which way was that wind blowing from?” was the thought of the day, as riders faced the famous omnidirectional headwind on the Dangarsleigh 30km course. Numbers were lower than normal with many away for school holidays. Rider of the day has to go to Jacquie who managed to hold of Shaun in the dash to…

Gravel Race 32.5km on Danagarsleigh
11 riders took to the start on a lovely day for race on The back triangle gravel race course. Most of the roads were in good condition, probably because of the lack of traffic out to the waterfalls. At least the NSW parks staff were there to cheer the riders on. Most of the riders…

RROTY Round 3 Long Swamp
For the first time in over 12 month racing returns to Long Swamp Road. The field saw Roddy returning from a round the world trip but it lacked Richard May who was racing in the Junior Tour in the Hunter. The still weather meant the pace was fast. Many of the rider got PR’s on…

Gravel No.2 32.5km on Dangarsleigh Road
With the sun out and the wind not blowing it was the perfect conditions for a day of gravel racing. Dave Smith and John Kenny both had new toys to play with although Dave is probably wishing he had done a longer shakedown ride before racing a slip seat post put a dash to his…

RROTY 2: 30th May 2026 – 30km on Boorolong
I can’t give much of a race report as I turned up one and a half minutes after the last bunch left and it took me soon long to complete the course on a gravel bike half the field had gone home by the time I finished. Billy was a DNF with a slipping/broken seat…
