Update on 2009 NSW Masters Shield - Vikings Win on recount

Hi Simon,

I have completed a recount of the Masters points for the master Championships, and I on behalf of Cycling NSW would like to congratulate Tuggeranong Vikings CC on being the winners of the 2009 Masters Shield.

As the three riders you mentioned had large point scores to their name, this mean that Tuggeranong won the shield by a margin of over 50 points.

Due to the system not recognising the rider's transferral, all three riders were shown as belonging to their previously affiliated club.

We would like to apologise for this error, and once again congratulate all Tuggeranong Vikings Master's riders who competed at the Master's Championships.

An official statement will be placed in this weeks newsletter, along with the website.

Thank you and congratulations.

NSW Masters Road Race and Criterium Championships

Lots of MACT members raced at the NSW Masters Road Race Championships hosted by Eurobodalla CC

Cootamundra Haycarters

A big bunch of MACT riders raced at the Cootamundra Haycarters and Sunday recovery race

• Haycarters Results
• Haycarters Recovery Results

80 or so riders witnessed one of the biggest pile-ups anywhere! 5km from the finish when the bunch was moving along at 50kph 40 riders or so came down, filling the road 3-4 deep from drainage ditch to drainage ditch. The majority of people were OK, with a small number of broken collar bones and a dislocated elbow. Most of the damage was to expansive carbon bits and tyres. Most tyres saw 10-15cm of bald patches due to locking up trying to avoid the carnage
