BiciSport @ French Car Club of Canberra @ 4 Nov - MOR & Steve Dixon (BiciSport) enjoy the fabulous French retro car display in Barton ACT. Maybe not as prestigious as the Battle of Waterloo English-French car display in mid June but still entertaining nevertheless.
Graham Jones was a long time member of firstly Manly CC then BiciSport. Graham was a keen race organiser and contributor to all things cycling including the development of the Terrey Hills BMX track. Graham was also instrumental in the creation of the Narrabeen Lakes walking & cyclepath.
Graham was killed in a early morning training ride near Chatswood on 10 November 2002. In memory of Graham's strong community focus there is a walking bridge named in his honour around the Narrabeen Lakes Walk.
There will be a brief remembrance ceremony at the Jones Memorial on Friday 10 November @ 10.30am. For further details contact Mike O’Reilly on 0417 403 244
Car parking is available in the nearby Middle Park Reserve just off the Wakehurst Parkway beside the Narrabeen Lakes

Jolly Componibili - Club 88 Pro Cycling Team (Italy) - 1989-97
Jolly was a kitchen maker & Club 88 was a holiday travel company. Bikes were Moser (Italian) but the groupsets Shimano. Sponsorship flipped to AKI Gipiemme in 1995. Clothing was Nalini and the jersey design looked like a mess.
A team with a strong Italian focus and they won several Tour of Italy stages and a few one day Italian semi classics … but not a lot outside of Italy. Team members were a blend of riders on the way up the career ladder (like Endrio Leoni (sprinter), Nicola Miceli (sprinter), Peter Pieters (sprinter), Zenon Jaskula (Giro GC rider), Dimitri Konychev (all rounder) and Gilberto Simoni), but equally several riders were headed for retirement in Erich Maechler (ex Team Carrera) .
