Race Report 8 March 2014
With just one more Twinnies club race to go before the Club Championships, we started today, under grey skies and a sprinkling of rain was experienced throughout the morning.
The greasy conditions saw Heidi take a fall at Woodlands Drive roundabout leaving no room for Matt Stanley to go but down as well. Heidi re-opened an wound suffer in the lead up to this season. She is hoping to recover in time to compete in the Hawaiian Ironman. This is how she reported it on that great social networking site
Whoops. A slick road and a nice slice on my elbow this am. Right up my old scar. All stitched up now!!! I need to learn how to ride a bike!

With the increase in quite a few members going off at 0600, I couldn’t believe my eyes to see cyclists heading off into the darkness without rear lights and it has since been reported that there was a member with no front or rear lights. Are you kidding.
BE WARNED IF YOU DON’T HAVE A FRONT AND REAR OPERATIONAL LIGHT
YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO LEAVE UNTIL THE SUN HAS RISEN.
Given the wet greasy conditions this morning, Doctor Bike Junior spoke on the importance of; correct gear choice, riding easy and staying in the saddle. Paul also spoke on the importance of good bike lights, change your battery regularly.
