Session starts at 6 see you then

Don’t forget that the Junior training that was on Tuesday has moved to Thursdays, at Harrison St and let’s kick things off at 6.

There is another change, these Thursday sessions will also cater for elites etc.

With this Thursday being the Australia Day Holiday is anyone interested?

The focus will be on preparing for the Club Teams Champs.

Being a holiday I am putting a 6 rider minimum for a start, so email me camngeorge@hotmail.com if you are coming

I will post a notice on Wednesday if it’s a yes or no.

Another weekend of track racing for the under-15 and under-17 boys and girls and this time the stakes were high with State Championship medals and State Team selection up for grabs…

Overall, we can be extremely proud of our juniors who all dug deep to deliver medals and and many PBs. Saturday saw the time trials and pursuits; while Sunday featured the Sprint and Scratch races. Might be easiest if we sum up each category individually.

With the overall title for the JW15s going to Ruby – and Greta, Ryan and Riley all finishing in the top four of their respective categories – along with assistance from James and Isaac Pane (in Melbourne) and Riley Terrens and Emily Dunk (in Adelaide), Team Brunswick shone bright throughout the hugely successful National Junior Track Series.  The series, a CA initiative, was dragged kicking and screaming to life pretty much singlehandedly by Max Stevens.  Max has been in the sport for some years with stints heading up Cycling South Australia and as Stuart O’Grady’s manager amongst many other roles.  Max has to be congratulated for pulling it off when many were doubting it could be done in five states in the first year.

To the President and Members of the Brunswick Cycling Club,
The family of the late John Graham thankyou for your condolences. John enjoyed every moment of his involvement with cycling, especially the friendships made during his time with Brunswick. During his illness he liked to watch cycling on TV and many old cycling videos he had collected over the years. Our special thanks to those who visited John during his illness and/or attended John’s funeral, I hope we were able to thank them at the time.
Beverley, Carolyn and Rodney, Stephen and Lynda, Julie and Joe, Jesse, Holly, Daniel, Zachary, and Alexander.
