The Bundaberg Cycling Clubs Annual Cycling Spectacular is fast approaching. Our prestigious event will be one of Australia's Largest and Richest Track racing event on the calendar and this year will be staged over 2 magnificent days covering December 10th & 11th.
Please forward to your members and place on the news section of your website...
Please find attached the latest media release for the PureSport Kingscliff Triathlon. – Kingscliff Triathlon to honour Nev -
Attached is the entry form for the triathlon. There is also a colouring competition for kids up to and including 12 years of age which has just opened, so if you have any little ones that like to colour they might like to give it a go.
A great day for WRCC at the state duathlon champs in Gatton!
Both Weavers girls Alexandria and Monique won their category as the first girls in the kids and mini-kids duathlon. Monique managed a second place overall, beating all but one of the boys and leaving the other young Queensland boys behind and wondering about girl power.
Mellissa Rollinson, true to form managed to convincingly win the womens race by 6 minutes and going around 10 minutes faster than last year. Pretty impressive considering that she just started cycling again 2 weeks ago and had a bad accident 2 days before the race.
Luke Preston managed a third in his age group, but would have done a lot better if he respected the environment. Yes, our Lukie (the Kid) was caught out shamefully littering a gel packet - an offence that gets you 3 minutes in the penalty box under triathlon rules. However, undeterred, he carried on with is race and still posted an impressive result. Well done Luke, the Shrek of Shame is yours for another week!
Paolo was also left wondering about girl power - after running his fastest 10k ever and thinking he would catch mighty Mel on the bike, was stunned by the fact that even his new disc wheel could not make a dent in the gap - she managed the same bike split as him! Next year he will try his luck at the state bingo championships!
Well done all, a great race and a proud day for the club.

Battles on the Border for Cyclists
Generally when you think of a battle of the states you think of the Rugby League ‘State of Origin’, however on the 1st weekend in May it is the cyclists that will be fighting for that winning position at the Mantra Battle on the Border Cycling Festival Tweed Coast.
The battle as it is commonly known brings together cyclist of all ages and abilities to contest one of the three events under its arm: the Tour De Tweed 4-Stage competitive tour, which caters for all those who like the challenge from Elite, Masters and Juniors; the Australian Under 19 Junior Road Championships, bringing the best of the juniors all trying for a spot in the Australian team to contest at the World’s in Italy; and the Gran Fondo Social Ride, a ride for anyone with a bike and enjoys a pedal.
A last minute surge in nominations could possibly see entries for the Tour de Tweed close a week early with only 30 spots left. Organiser Mike Crawley stated “we were pleased with the last minute interest in the Tour, it makes the competition a little more attractive”.
The Gran Fondo social ride allows the participant to choose the distance to suit them with a 100km, 136km and 189km ride there is something to suit any cycling enthusiast. The social ride is timed but is not a race. “They are very popular over in Europe, so we wanted to bring it to the Tweed” Crawley said.
So to all those thinking about being a part of the cycling fun, stop and join in already. It is an enjoyable safe way to ride around the Tweed Coast through the majestic landscape and relax and socialize at Mantra Battle village of Salt at night.
