Women’s Racing in Sydney

domestique — Fri, 18 May 2012 01:48:31 +0000

The first of Women’s criterium races was held yesterday in perfect weather conditions. Hosted by Lidcombe Auburn Cycling Club (LACC) 18 women started in 2 grades which was a great turnout for our first event.

Both grades worked very hard on the mainly flat circuit at the Tennis Centre SOP. In A grade special mention to Sue Forsyth and Amber Jenkins, 2 very strong local riders for guiding some of the newer riders to A grade with some great advice and encouragement. Comments from the B grade were fantastic with all the riders finishing the race as a bunch and for some the joy of having a womens grade and being able to contest the sprint was a whole new experience against racing against the men and then not having the strength to match them and being able to ‘have a go’ for the sprint.

Full results from the races available shortly. Don’t forget to check the Racing page for the next event.

As you may or may not be aware the Domestique website has just had a major facelift. While building the site my web designer put in a couple of example blogs to show me how it all worked. He named one “Don’t fall off your Bike”. Funnily enough, that’s what Domestique is all about, empowering you with the skills, knowledge and confidence to ride whether it be for fun and fitness, commuting, or to win that next race our courses and programs will allow you to put the skills you learn into practice so that you “Don’t fall off your bike”
