Waggrakine Individual Time Trial


Individual Time Trial - Waggrakine Circuit

Due to spiralling wind conditions over the last week the long Waggy circuit was stretched an extra 2 kms and turned out to be 17.3kms, as attested by 20 riders.  Darryl Sheilds ruled the day with the fastest ride of 28:09mins, giving Paul Matthews a run for his money on 28:48mins.

The club was pleased to see a number of riders returning for their first ride of the season.  Mitchell Crabb led the field out and rode a slightly shorter circuit due to some misdirection.  Vicki Sheilds, Marissa Drummond, Rhonda Bradley, Brad Ewing, Kate Watson, Tom Thuijs and Duane Crabb all put in strong rides.  Ian Andrews back gave way forcing him to withdraw after one lap.

Jonty Calder stunned the field as a Junior rider putting in a very fast ride in 34 mins.

Mike Reymond, Gus Ruiz, Garry Porter, Julie Firth and Tim Glenister completed the circuit in around 32 minutes with Reggie Richardson hot on their heels at just over 33 mins.

Max Nowrojee is a force to be watched with his podium finish as he strives to beat his third place.  Sara Armitage is trading up her flat bar bike for a swifter model so watch out everyone at the next race!

It will be interesting to see the improvements in time when this circuit is ridden again for a second Individual Time Trial later in the year.

We look forward to seeing even more riders on Sunday 26th Feb at the 32km “Light My Fire”Giles Park Road Race, contesting the four $50 prizes on offer.
