Illawarra Cycle Club

Final tally for the ICC Track Championship and Individual Point Score Comp are presented below:

Congratulations to Chris Murray as the 2010/2011 ICC Track Champion ~ third year in a row !!!.     

Congratulations also to the divisional winners in the Track Championship and Point Score Comp. Acknowledgement of your success will occur at the Club Presentation Night later in the year. You will have to wait until then to find out who won the gong for the Best Junior and Most Improved Rider.

We have had an accident free FNTR season on the Unanderra Track thanks mainly to Club Members and visitors riding with an appropriate attitude and showing courtesy to other riders. There were a few close calls where luck and bike handling skills fortunately fell our way.

The high standard of racing at FNTR has contributed to ICC Juniors being prominent on the podium at all the track opens and in all events at the 2011 NSW Junior Track Championships. ICC Juniors now hold seven State Titles in age divisions from U13 through to U17. Four of our Juniors in the NSW Junior Track team. The Illawarra Open was the best track open in NSW this track season.

So to sum it up it up : Illawarra Cycle Club has had a great track season.

FNTR requires a lot of behind the scenes organising and effort so thanks must go to:

•   Heather and Mick Mitrevski for their tireless effort in running the sign on desk and providing after race goodies and general support.
•   Marcel & Joanne Pignatelli and Rosanne Mullany for staffing and running the finishing line. It is a high pressure job, especially when the racing is close.
•   Kieran Heffernan who was always on hand and ready to pitch in when commissaires were thin on the ground.

For Track Season 2011/2012 and beyond, members and parents of Junior riders will be rostered to run each FNTR. Full details will be promulgated well before the start of next track season, but it will work along the lines that if you are not on the roster, you don’t get to race at FNTR.

Good luck to the Masters for the upcoming NSW and Aust Championships.

Cheers and thanks your support over the past four years.
