Poowong 24th September

On Saturday 24th September the Leongatha Cycling Club held at Poowong the first of a tri-series of events sponsored by the Korumburra Medical Centre. Although the rider numbers were down on what was expected, those who participated enjoyed the event on a warm spring day.

Scratch races were the event format with four grades riding a short hilly 17.5Km course. With 22 riders competing in the event the grades comprised – A grade with six riders riding three laps of the course, B grade two laps with five riders, C grade two laps with six riders and D grade one lap with five riders.

Adding a touch of humour to the day, an anonymous red devil appeared during the event on the Loch-Poowong road climb into Poowong, but even the devil was not enough to inspire some riders who found the hilly course too demanding by not completing the last lap.
