Shout out to the Volunteers, Steve Ollson for manning the turn around Ed Smythe for holding at the start, helping with sock sales and collecting timing chips at the end.

It's always so great to see the comeraderie with in the club. Craig Rutherford finished his race and jumped in his truck to go and help out Charlene who had a flat on the course. All this without a second thought. In the mean time, Gary was on the course helping her out and Steve swooped by on the way in and picked her up in his truck. That's what this club is about, a true team guys. Cheers to that.

Thank you Lorrie for the pictures and the bones and a big thanks to Patrick for dong a terrific job with the timiing and course setup. We are glad you got a ride in after all, Patrick. Please remember to sign up online before the event and put in your estimated time so Patrick can maybe get a TT race in too! The link for sign up will be sent out in the email and put in the FB event.

Please note: Next week's TT is in Errington on Grafton Road - start time 7:15pm. It's the week of the Team Time Trial and you don't need to be on a team to race. If you want to create a team of three, it's a mix of male and female along with one Merckx style bike.
