Bendigo & District Cycling Club Road Racing Results 30 November 2008:

Stoltz, Leske and Dynon Winners in the Wind

Jo Stoltz, Justin Leske and Paul Dynon all took the line honours after 7 gruelling laps on the lumpy Junortoun circuit.  Attacks on Bennett’s Burg were the flavour of the day but the windy conditions made it difficult for escapee aspirants to do much damage.  Patience proved to be the key to winning the uphill sprints for the line.

Results

A GRADE	B GRADE
1.      Jo Stoltz 2.      George Tansley 3.      Wes Steele 4.      Justin Kennedy 5.      Todd Schintler	1.      Justin Leske 2.      Terry Schintler 3.      Rik McIntosh


B Grade winner Justin Leske collects some valuable scalps in Terry Schintler and Rik McIntosh

C GRADE
1.      Paul Dynon 2.      Phil Bone 3.      Steve Flood

C Grade Winner Paul Dynon cooling it up before the start	Luke Barbetti rode aggressively during B Grade the race… but was pleasantly friendly afterwards

Bendigo & District Cycling Club Road Racing 16 November 2008:

Tommeken On Top the Day After

Tom Southam rode to a solo victory on a windy lumpy Junortoun circuit on Sunday.  Despite only a few minutes sleep and a night of heavy drinking Southam attacked the remaining five riders with two and half laps and about 15km to go and was simply too good.  Today’s ride bodes well for the Pirate from Penzance; next weekend Southam will be trying to trump his gutsy ride around the streets of the Bendigo in October last year and take out the John McLean Criterium.

Wes Steel and Micah Leske were the winners in B and C Grade.

Results:

A Grade	B Grade	C Grade
Tom Southam	1.      Wes Steel	1.      Micah Leske
Tim Decker	2.      Tim Ralton	2.      Sam Crome
George Tansley	3.      Justin Leske	3.      Andrew Creek
Tony Fitzpatrick		4.      Greg Mundy

 

Thanks to Marshals…
