Wolf Racing

Throwback Sunday

With Mother Nature keen to ensure the local racers had another “rest weekend”, it provides us with a great opportunity to reflect on the boys’ racing the weekend before.

On Saturday, Murray McClymont, Mark Whitelaw, Nathan Boschma, and Mick Cole raced in the Masters A/B race hosted by Balmoral Cycling Club at the Murrarie Criterium track. The field was 40-odd strong and, with a 46km/h average, the bunch was not there for an easy weekend roll. The race had 2 primes, with Muzz following a strong attack by Shannon Duggan and taking line honours for the first. The second prime came quite late in the race, but Wh**ey followed Muzz’s earlier example and attacked over the best part of a lap to take the second. A solid race, full of persistent and punchy attacks from the peloton. Thanks to all for a good hard and honest race! 👏

On the north side of the river, Katie Cole competed in the individual time trial at Nundah hosted by the Hamilton Wheelers. While competing on her road bike, Katie still managed to post a 37 km/h average over the 24kms. Unfortunately, the club had difficulties with their timing system, which meant the official places could not be recognised. Nonetheless, a good workout that’ll pay dividends for her later in the season.

Thanks to the Balmoral and Hamilton Wheelers Cycling Clubs for hosting these events. Here’s hoping for some better weather for the weekend ahead.
