VALE ALEX FULCHER
There can’t be any more of a giving contributor to NSW & Australian cycling than Alex Fulcher, who sadly passed away over the weekend after a long illness. Alex was an outstanding cyclist in his own right, then became a proactive club organiser, a generous sponsor, then a NSW & Cycling Australia administrator without peer. Our thoughts are with his family at this time.
