Well what a cracker of a night, the whole of the mountain bike world turned out for another excellent nite of racing at THE ORIGINAL MTB CRITS, 65 that’s right 65 riders greeted the new format of racing.
All the riders racing individually as well as for their teams gave it all they had with some great results, all can be seen on the results page, after Pinnacle Cycles won the innaugral Teams Bragging Trophy, Croydon Cycleworks absolutly annilated the opposition to take a commanding lead after round 1 in series 2, Mick Jamison and his team had points in all classes, now what will the other teams do??
a huge thanks to all who turned out and hope to see you all next week, i have only 4 weeks left before i leave for Italy, dont forget the last nite for me is also the Australian Crit Champs and pizza nite and more than likely a chance for me to say goodbye to one and all.
Cheers Bealesy

Starting this week we are trialling a new format to make it easier for our lap scoring and better timing control.
Due to the large numbers, which we are pleased with, we are finding difficult in giving you the riders the best timing and lap scoring at the combined C and D grades.
So from this week we will have A, Women and C grades starting at 6.30pm, followed by B, Juniors and D grades.
Each week we will alternate the start so each grade gets to start first, all you have to remember is to be there at 6.30pm.
So next week it will be B, D and Jun first then A, C and Women.

Our wed nites ark up this week, 9th, so here’s your chance to hurl out that xmas pud and get back into some serious training for all those events coming up on the calendar.
Thanks to Scotty and Paul for putting the photo;s up over the break, it’s always good to see those shots, specially the new riders and the interested riders surfing our website, well done boys.
Also good news with Scott now getting looked after from Felt.
I must also say thenks to Cyclescience Daz and Shelley for looking after me as well as Rob Eva at SRAM.
