Wednesday, May 9, 2012 at 11:25AM After her top ten finish in the Mersey Valley Tour last month, AWCC member Lisa Barry took on the next race in the National Road Series, Battle on the Border. Here's what happened in her own words:
Hi All,
I have been receiving quite a few notes of support and wishes for good luck from AWCC in my endeavours with the Torq/Bicycle Superstore Women’s Road team. I thought I would update you all just in case you were interested.
The family and I travelled up to the gold Coast on the weekend just gone and I completed the 4 stage tour Battle on the Border – the second tour in the women’s National Road Series. It consisted of a ITT and road race on Saturday, a road race on Sunday and a crit Monday.
Finished in 23rd overall – can’t tell you how happy I am considering it was not my ideal tour (not enough hills!). I guess the most exciting thing (and probably my biggest achievement so far in cycling) was coming second in the Queen of the Mountain competition to legend Ruth Corsett*. I got to wear the polka dot jersey on the 3rd and fourth stages as I was equal first but she got me in the second last stage with a really smart attack at the top of the hill. I learnt a lot and I'm already looking forward to heading to the third race of the series in Tamworth in June.
See you all at a club race soon I hope – need to learn a lot about cornering, TT’s, crits and racing smarts! Lisa
*Ruth Corsett was 2010 national road champion.
Monday, May 7, 2012 at 12:05PM The 2012 Albury Wodonga Dirt Berg race proved to be one for the junior riders with Stephen Damm soloing to a convincing win after riding away from his fellow limit riders on the final steep climbs to the finish to finish in a time of 45:03 minutes.
Fellow junior, Charlie McMillan rode well to to take second and hold off a determined Neil Vander Ploeg who had one by one dropped the remains of the scratch bunch and in the process take out the fastest time. Despite a strong ride, he was not quite able to make up the 7:30 minute head start given to limit on the demanding 21.5 km course.
Clancy Lloyd, another under 17, also riding off limit, reached the summit in a strong 4th place.
For those who made the trip it was a short but tough day that hurt the legs and provided a definite sense of satisfaction to the finishers.
