Carnegie-Caulfield CC Criterium
Blackburn CC Criterium Sprint King Series #2

Carnegie-Caulfield CC Criterium

Waverley Park, Mulgrave, Vic, October 3, 2000

The Olympics over, Melbourne's racing cyclists return to Waverley Park for the Tuesday evening crits. "The Park" may be under threat of redevelopment, but while it lasts we will make good use of the interesting 2km course on the undulating car-park roads.

A and B grades started together due to a shortage of riders willing to challenge the course in the chilly, windy conditions. Frequent attacks set the tone, with B grade riders not afraid to combine in attempts to slip the bunch. The A grade placings went to Dean Johnstone, Brett Carr and MTB'er John Claxton, while Alan Schnable led home B grade from Peter Gardner and Josh Van der Veen.

Tim Nuttal surprised himself in holding off the rampaging C grade bunch with absolutely no margin as Shane Perkins kicked over Simon Glendenning and Simon Clarke in the bunch sprint.

D grade witnessed the strength of John Groves, who found himself with a handy gap early on. The gap remained until in the latter stages of the race the remaining D graders surprised Groves by growing some extra legs! Victory in the end to two ladies Dapne Dubach and Lia Sarto with a good gap to Mick Cummings and John Sheard.
