seems they forgot to maintain their 'incorporated status"
oh well, maybe i can mow the lawns now....

Lawns shmawns, come to beauie instead!

Where and when?

8am Sunday, Beaumont Rd, Mt Kuringai. More info here and here

Bankstown Sports CC run races at Lansdowne at the same time and on the same Saturdays as Lidcombe. I went out there 2 weeks ago when Horsley Park was canceled and then again today for my C-grade debut (got 5th, in the chase group following a 3 man breakaway). Entry fee is only $5, but there's no prize money. Everyone gets put into a raffle, though, and you might win a puncture kit or bottle of lube. That's going to be my alt. race from now on.

2nd place made it worthwhile !

my first c grade placing does not a b grader make! i teried a new strategy of being last for the first 5 laps ( ie bludging at the back) whilst ingnoring the odd few that tried to make a break every once and a while. with about 3 laps to go a pair seemed to have an incereasing 100-200m break, so i thought i better do my bit and drag the bunch up to them. it took a bit but they were shutdown by bell lap and it was on again. this time, i did the opposite and sat back through the s bends at around 10th, ( i would typically get excited, end up 1st or 2nd though here and get swamped in the sprint). found a fast wheel, sat on it and pushed past. for once the penrith finish straight had a tail wind, and my XXL frame was the perfect sail !!
the distance between first and last was less then 50m at the end.

Jeremy, there may be something for your destitute LACC riders here, check it out:

The only thing that I think is incorrect on that page is that you are not allowed to race at all when you transfer.

You are only not allowed to race at an open within 8 weeks of the transfer date. You can still play club racing.

I am also told that the paperwork is now submitted and LACC are now awaiting a response from DFT.

cheers

no need to transfer as we can still race clubbies. in fact i'm rather looking forward to Beauie on monday

LACC were out in force last Saturday for the Bankstown race at Lansdowne. Black and gold jerseys won/placed in B and C grades (including a fourth place in C grade by moi). What's really being missed with LACC being down is the junior races. The LACC crew bought along enough of their kids to run a juniors race out there, however, which was nice to see.

Hopefully everything will be back together for Horsely Park on the 18th.
