Sutherland Waratah Park Criterium @ 31 Oct - Craig Pager (BiciSport Anytime Fitness) rode B grade. A big field so hard to get position, but Craig finally worked his way to the front. With two laps to go Craig hit the front and jumped across to a single breakaway rider. At the bell lap the peloton closed down the gap and Craig finished in the peloton.
Ian Grainger & Mike Lawson rode C grade at Lansdowne Park with 37 starters in C grade for a 37kph average.
