Racing commences at the Hazelwood Pondage on Wednesday nights on 10th of Jan.
Racing starts for 2018 at the Hazelwood Pondage on the 10th of January and will make a nice change to get back into the road racing after the criterium campaign before christmas. Racing will start at 6pm with an entry fee of $10. Would be nice to get some numbers so that we can run C and D grades. Pay attention to the sign/corner roster so as to ensure the signs are not forgotten and we cant race. Swap, pay someone or do whatever you like as long as it gets done!!

Road Champs 18/3/2017
The Latrobe City Cycling Club Road Race Championships took place on Saturday the 18th of March on the testing Boolarra 25km circuit. Nine riders started in Boolarra and headed up Limonite Road and it wasn’t long before Jim Timmer-arends picked up the pace on the first climb to test everyone’s legs. Chris Joustra and Colin Aitkin tried in vein to get away but with the windy conditions it was always going to be a difficult task to go so early in the race. Half way up the hill the road headed east onto Boolarra Sth Mirboo Nth Road and this is where Daniel Furmston saw his opportunity to up the ante and try and reduce the field. Nearing the top with a few riders dangling off the back, Danny Gafa attacked into the strong crosswind and Darren Spiteri, Jason Strickland and Dwayne Weston were distanced. The pace was maintained on the decent into Boolarra and Joustra and Aitkin again jumped off the front to get a head start up the climb. The reduced bunch maintained the gap and slowly brought them back and all was together again as the riders hit the wind again. Furmston sensed another opportunity and put it in a withering attack putting it in the gutter and leaving no shelter from the wind. This put paid to Aitkin and Timmer-Arends and Skinner were also dangling off the back. Furmston, Gafa and Joustra started working together and soon opened up a sizeable gap, however the time trial champ Timmer-arends was not to be denied and reduced the gap only for Skinner to jump across and leave him isolated. When Skinner arrived back at the front, Gafa put in a couple of attacks to try and drop Skinner again before the decent but to no avail. The four cruised down the decent and Timmer-arends was able to re-join on the front. As the bunch left Boolarra for the final time and with only the climb to the finish remaining, Joustra put in one last effort to get away and managed to open up a sizeable gap. With Gafa, Furmston and Skinner rolling turns the gap was maintained and it wasn’t until another Furmston attack at the start of the crosswind that Joustra was brought back and in the process again distancing Skinner and Timmer-arends. This time the three out front opened up the gap on the riders behind and held it until in sight of the finish where Gafa and Furmston began to jostle for prime position. With 200m from the finish, Gafa jumped and soon gapped a tiring Furmston who also gapped Joustra to finish in that order. Skinner finished shortly after in fourth followed by Timmer-arendsin fifth.
