W what appears now to be a couple of leisurely laps, the pace increased significantly with A Grade passing D Grade on the road and the competitive stay in touch attitude shone through. With a chase within the chase happening, 3 riders off the front trying to chase A Grade and the balance of the group chasing them. Eventually the run to the line was a battle of young winning out against older rivals and acknowledgement form the handicapper that all 3 placegetters can look forward to their next outing in C Grade.
Parramatta CC would like to thank Park Life Cycling Club for their support at today’s racing with 30 riders in attendance on what was a wonderful sunny afternoon for racing.
