Beauie Race Report 17th June

On a very cold Sunday morning the hard riders showed what they were made of with a hotly contested event over three grades.
Despite the cold conditions the racing was great quality and thanks to the volunteers who helped under Commissaire Craig (Ring the Bell) Stevens.

The hard man award goes to Richard Lack of NSCC who raced without arm or leg warmers - respect bro.

Results and photos below - club member Paul Frontczak took some high quality action shots which can be found here

In A grade it was the Manly show with Aaron Bicknell showing his class and went in an early three man break which included the old man of the sea, Matt Garnon. The field split into three and the Bicknell break eventually told on Matt and it was down to two. The chasing bunches lacked cohesion and it ended up a Manly procession claiming all spots in the podium. Tim Clarsen was with Aaron in the break all day and was a deserved 2nd place.

In B grade a big field stayed mostly together despite a few attacks which were all brought back. It was great to see Georgia Whitehouse in there mixing it up and her smarts showed through as she grabbed a well-deserved spot on the podium. In a bunch sprint finish new #DogSquad recruit Chris Hinds showed amazing acceleration to take the win.
C grade was another race that stayed together and the wind meant that most were looking for somewhere to shelter and save the legs. Again it was Matt Hazard a #mindmatters coaches rider who showed that his training under Mad Dog was worth it as he won clearly.
