29/01/2011 This is a mainly tongue in cheek report. After a week away in Adelaide watching the professionals race, Jayman Prestidge, a perennial loser of bike races, hatched a plan; a plan to win his second race in two years. The plan involved a change of tactics and attitude. No …
22/01/2011 While some riders were inspired by watching the pros going around in Adelaide in the Tour Down Under some stayed home to watch the pros on the TV and missed the club race. A couple of WCC’s own pros made a rare appearance at a club race. James Henry …
15/01/2011 The A grade group of 15 riders stayed together fleetingly. Shane Stiles and Brenton Jones seemed keen to jump around like peanuts right from the start. The first time up the King St hill they put 100 meters into the field and managed to hold that advantage for much …
08/01/2011 Oppressive temperatures were no deterrent to the cyclists who turned out in big numbers. C and D grade combined to make a field of nine riders. First time racer George Tambassis looked strong early in the race and soon he had the field spread out. Only Dave Bailey and …

13/11/2010 A hardy group of 15 riders fronted for a Shady Creek race with a difference. Rather than the usual loop here, racing was along the Shady Creek Yarragon Road, Araluen Road, Old Sale Road and then the Shady Creek Yarragon Road again. A/B rode two laps (approx 45 kilometers) …
