I will be there, just look for the big guy in B grade (div1) huffing and puffing with lots of slobber at the back of the pack desperately trying not to be dropped.

I know Mick had pencilled a Xmas "Mystery Crit" in on the 18th & was going to confirm. If this is a go then I'll be supporting CCCC at Lucca Rd. |

No mystery crit this Sunday. It'll be Steel River and/or an endurance ride - still thinking about a route.

This morning's HDCC Steel River Crit report:
Let me start by saying this is a great circuit to race on. Fast laps & breakneck speed cornering.
A handful of CCCC riders made the trip up. The likes of Mick C, Nick Y, Greggy M, Adam (AMK) & Moi were seen amongst Newcastle's best.
Div 1
A great spectacle with the ever imposing Mick Curran handing out a massive dose of "this is how you dominate & win a race"!
Mick was of course in the break after 1 lap with a Waki Lexus team mate & a couple of other riders, & the pace was on. Greggy bridged across solo to the leaders, assessed the situation & dropped back to the chasing pack.
A number of breaks went throughout the race, with Mick in every single one & I wouldn't be surprised to find out that he instigated every attack.
About two thirds through the race, Mick was away on his own for a number of laps, hands draped comfortably over the bars, looking like he was on a casual training ride. Meanwhile, Nick & Greggy were comfortably sitting in the pack that was shelling riders out the back.
With 3 laps to go, the pace got even hotter with 30 plus riders in single file trying to hold wheels.
Up the final incline the pace was ballistic, with Mick & team mate Dane leading into the final corner having stretched the field & created significant gaps.
Mick took a comfortable 1st, with Dane 2nd.
Nick & Greggy finished comfortably in the main field.
Div 2
A more sedate race by comparison at an ave of 39kph for 30 minutes. Only one CCCC representative, namely me. Fast & technical, averaging over 40kph until the 3 laps to go signal. Slowed to a snail's pace & took off again on the final lap. Some young whipper snappers got the jump on the field up the last incline into the final corner, & having to go wide into the corner I was unable to finish any better the 4th. Previous CCCC member Kodie Howard finished in 5th.
All in all a good morning out & would recommend this course to try in future.

Glad you thought so Col, give me Calga or West Head any day!
Burnt off after 4 laps, very embarassing. Back to Lucca for some more cornering work!

No wonder I have never managed to stay on when I have done this race. A pity, as this is my absolute favourite course. Just need competition that is my level. "still chasing" |
