Weekend wrap up!

There were a lot of things on offer this weekend- something to suit every style of riding!

The big event of the weekend was the National CX rounds happening in Creswick. CrossBurgers battled the cold and mud over two days. Well done to everyone who took part! Shout out especially to Rebecca Locke who made it onto the podium both days.

Our featured image this week is of Dylan, a hardworking Junior Burger who has been embracing all challenges on the bike.

He raced twice this weekend, taking on a mentorship role at Sunbury Cycling Club's junior racing clinic, and then backing it up by racing the ITT on the famous Kew Boulevard.

He was joined by a number of other Burgers who took on the cold, frosty morning! Congratulations to all who competed. Well done to the ever inspiring Anna Davis for her second place in the women's elite category- bested only by our current national road race champion, no less!

Out enjoying the crisp morning, as ever, was the CCC rec ride. Nothing stops these guys from riding, and they caught this truly glorious morning!

Our Trackburgers, meanwhile, were working hard under a roof and on the boards with coach Brad. These guys are looking stellar for next Saturday's ACES race! We encourage all Burgers to have a go, or join in by watching and cheering.

We're hearing so many stories of rides this weekend, with ups and downs, punctures, mud, but also sunrises, and beauty.

We hope you all enjoyed getting out on your bike!

Weekend wrap up!

After a biiiig one last weekend, it was quieter on the racing front. Still, there were a few Burgers out taking on the challenge!

The Gosses represented Coburg at the Winter Sprint Series, a fantastic event that provides graded match sprinting. It's a great opportunity to practice skills and tactics! Photos by @bikerjun from the archives.

Other Coburgers were out and about, taking advantage of the relatively good weather!

Also, have you heard the news??
Just announced- DDCX will be coming to Coburg Velodrome! The tunnel is back! So get excited and get ready for some fantastic Cross racing.

WEEKEND WRAP UP!

It was a long weekend, and a lot was happening both home and away.

The big event for the weekend was the CX double header at Mt Beauty.
Day 1 played host to the Victorian CX champs. It was a muddy course, and the elements were definitely made themselves known! Congratulations to Chris Drummond for his 4th place in the Masters Category.
Day 2 was the Vic CX round 5 race. The Burgers were on form again, with Rebecca Locke taking second in Women's A grade. Nicole has had a great season in women's C, and this race was able to achieve some of her personal goals. Great effort!

We also need to give a special shout out to probably one of the best performing Coburg riders in CX- Nettles the Slider. This little champ has claimed the goodies in every race she has attended. We hear lollies won in bike races taste all the sweeter!

On Saturday, our friends at Sunbury Cycling Club ran their junior race clinic. It was Big Kids vs Little Kids, and Dylan took to the Big Kids team to take second place. Awesome effort Dylan! We have no doubt this rivalry will continue thoughout the season!

Check out Sunbury's Facebook page for junior clinic dates.

Sunday saw our monthly coffee ride roll out. Despite a crisp morning, 12 riders took off from the clubrooms in the dark, and were treated to a beautiful sunrise. After a lovely ride with lively conversation, we pulled up at the cafe for well earned hot drinks.
Some used this as a springboard for a longer ride, taking advantage of the lovely weather!

Over at DISC, Brad Robbins was taking our track riders through some tough drills, including seated starts. Watch out for this crack team next ACES!

Out of the City, Fran was taking on the Bendigo 3 day tour. The last race is today, and we wish her all the best!

Further abroad, Justine Barrows has been taking on the USA road and crit scene. She took out second at the last race of the Tulsa Tough series. Amazing! Congratulations Justine!

We hope you got out on your bikes this long weekend. Join us on Wednesday for indoor training!
