Brunswick Cycling Club

Congratulations to Emma Pane on winning stage 2 of the Division 2 race at the Women’s Grand Prix yesterday. The race was won in a very tight fast finish in sweltering conditions. The Brunswick team is ranked 6th in the teams classification out of an impressive 16 teams. Well done to all team members Emma Pane, Rebecca Williamson, Sue Cox, Nonie Carr and Von Micich. Not all of us are Brunswick members but we are all flying the Brunswick banner. Stay tuned for round 3 in Bendigo on Feb 12th.

Brunswick CC would like to congratulate our latest Victorian State Team members:

JW15: Ruby Roseman-Gannon, Greta Curran, Gemma Waterhouse and Emily Dunk

Well done guys n girls – your performances in the recent National Junior Track Series has show how much you have all grown and developed as cyclists over the past few months

Tri . tri, trii……iathlon. Say this to a cyclist and they will think you’ve caught a new sort of cold. Ask them and most cyclists they will tell you that you should only swim when you fall into the water and that you should only run if being chased by a large dog. You should never, ever try to swim before riding a bike and under no circumstances should you ever consider running after riding your bike; you should hang about talking about what gear you’re riding beforehand and then sip coffee and work out tomorrow’s recovery ride afterwards.

Yes the forecast is for 34 so sunscreen and hydration strategies will be the order of the day!

Those who did the Thursday training will be well prepared for the action as we will run through stage 2 of our Club Teams Training as well as all the regular saturday faves.

It all starts at 2, $5 to ride, gold coin for the best snags and vegie burgers this side of the equator and the drinks? Cheap as chips.

If you are interested in being in a Brunswick CC team for the Team Sprint and Team Pursuit, please email Phil Bushell

All riders are encouraged to suggest other team members (i.e. work out who you think you should be riding with and get their agreement) to assist in the selection of teams. If we can accommodate your suggestions we will.

The Sunday development sessions on Sunday 29 Jan and 12 Feb will be focussing on Team Sprint and Team Pursuit and will be an ideal place to hone your team’s starts and transitions.

All you need is a full CV racing license and lots of enthusiasm. If you don’t know who to ride with, just let us know and we will endeavour to put you in a team with riders of similar fitness and ability.

BTW the club will cover the entry fees so you won’t have to pay to race.
