It was great to have a good turn out on what was a lovely afternoon.
The Bone Collector course this year had changed and team requirements had also changed. With a bit of juggling at registration all of the people that had not preregistered in a team were able to find a spot.
Special thanks to Matt van Wagtendonk for being the race organiser on the day. Thanks also to the marshalls, Jason Kinghorn and Matt Levin, on the course and Joanne Stewart and Anna for doing the registrations.
The first lap saw one rider get a small break from the rest of the 1st riders on the approach to Whitelocks letterbox and there was one rider that was trailling the rest at this point. But looking at the results (thanks to Paul Roberts and Matt van Wagtendonk) the split times show that the pace did not alter a lot for each subsequent lap.

Inspiring a Generation.
The catchcry theme for the 2012 London Olympics was ” Inspiring a Generation”.
The poms really did perform extremely well both on the the park , the track, the water, the velodrome and “off the field”. It was a pleasure to experience the “best games ever” and of course being there when our two local boys and in particular Simon winning bronze medals in dramatic style was a lifetime memory.
Both Jesse and Simon rode with such courage and determination. Their medals were richly deserved.
Given the huge success that Team GB had at these Olympics , already clubs across the UK are experiencing record interest across a range of sports. A generation has been inspired and the opportunity for more success and the door for future medals has been opened. Some clubs now have waiting lists !
With the exploits of Jesse and Simon, the same kind of opportunity on a much smaller scale exists in our own community and particularly our cycling community.
