This event was a special event, particularly for three riders celebrating ATTA milestones: FIFTY rides for Sean Mahony; ONE HUNDRED rides for Mick Brammer (Mr Fixed - you see him on the front page of our website); and ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY rides for John Ferguson. We do love that sort of commitment and hope to see each of them proceed to their next milestone. We also welcomed back Jeff Usher who's been off on a brief bit of 'leave' and Andre McAuliffe whom we last saw 21 years ago.

We saw another top ride by Rebecca Mackey - another course record! Bec looked a bit sleep deprived when she signed on but went out and rode four nicely paced laps (at about record pace) and went up a gear for the final lap to take her twelve seconds below the previous mark. Jenny Sammons was out looking for her track 'fast legs' and found them with her two-lap sprint in what was also a course record.
Andrew Bannister too had a mission, heading to Para-championships in Victoria next week. He was a late entry, desperate for a final hit-out and achieved that with a two-and-a-half minute PB.

But the stand-out PB must be that of Sam Flockhart - six-and-a-half minutes were found to be unecessary in her previous best. There was a good collection of PBs and, most impressively, forty one riders in the 40+km/h cohort.

Once again Janice and Davie Graham 'provided' a heap of our helpers: Scott behind the desk with Sophia Erhard; Sarah Allen and Vanessa Young managing the locals down south. On the bridge we had Adam Mathewson direction traffic and Mark Stenning calling numbers (and encouragement to Oli who was intent on giving Matt Burton's 40km record a bit of a nudge). Down past the start, Jason Walsh and Paul Williams monitored the exit from the course, each also managing a 40km/h+ ride. Lorraine was your starter with assistance this time from Robert Hurst; Troy set up and packed down the course.

And many thanks also to Gary, the Roving Barista.
