Club Race No. 6
With a severe thunderstorm warning for South East Queensland and the Northern Rivers area of NSW 53 hearty souls got out of bed early and joined fellow competitors in double distance. I was heading to my marshalling point at Amaroo and Fraser Drive to relieve Angela. As I drove down Fraser Drive all I could see was a sea of white lights slowly grinding up the hill. Some bright, some really really BRIGHT, some flashing and some not so bright.
Then the rain started falling, getting heavier and heavier, a quick check of the BOM saw that we were still on the edge of the storm that was still heading our way, a roll of thunder and then the rain got heavier and heavier and the riders kept on coming with big smiles on their faces.
The passing of the storm!
Now with perfect running conditions, there were some remarkable times recorded for both double and single distances.
Change of venue for a wet presentation
Presentation saw some feats – Mr Kevin ‘The Rock’ Bannerman having raced over the past 17 years has completed 400 Twin Towns Club Races, with Matt Lance (the young one on the left) joined the 100 club.
Uniform will be available next week, make sure you bring your money along.
