Huskisson Team Triathlon @ 1 Mar - Congratulations to Stew Campbell for yet another Husky team triathlon victory
Tolland Weekend @ 7-8 Mar - CyclingNSW road handicaps are never easy but to only run 6 bunches across all abilities virtually guarantees that nobody is in the correct bunch (the CycNSW handicapping policy itself recommends 10 bunches). For Frank Signor (bunch 6) and Peter Budd (bunch 4) so it proved and both had a tough day in the cycling mosh pit. The race was over 5 laps and both were a DNF at the end of lap 4.
