FLYING THE FLAG - FORD, AUSTRALIA
TRAVEL ALL OVER THE COUNTRYSIDE

Glenn Ford continued his cycling nomadic ways in the A.C.T. recently.
This time Ford was chasing NSW Masters titles and he went oh so close with podiums in both of his events, where the standard of competition was a level above other races this season.

Day 1 - Saturday 22nd August
The Individual Time Trial events were staged on an Out & Back course over 16.8 kilometres.
Almost entirely downhill on the outward leg, made the return leg perfect for Ford's climbing prowess, as he claimed silver in the Mens Masters 9 category.

Day 2 - Sunday 23rd August
The Road Races were stage on an equally challenging course this time with two laps of an Out & Back course, for a race total of 59 km and almost 1,000m of elevation gain.
The race field compromised the divisions
MMAS8 and over.
Ford took bronze in MMAS9.

Congratulations again Glenn, we look forward to your next adventure!

SUN 23rd AUGUST

Safe riding and luck to all riders in the Rob Vernon Memorial, especially the Eureka members and our extended circle of cycling friends.
This is the 47th edition of the race staged by the Bendigo District Cycling Club.
The Rob Vernon is one of the few feature events to survive the massive reshuffle that cycling has experienced this past decade - which is testament to the superb work Darren Casey and the team at BDCC have done promoting grassroots cycling.
The 2026 handicap field has 170 odd riders, with some groups as large as 30 riders!

Grp 26 min
Rhiannon Attiwill

CURNOW KNOWS NO LIMIT
WINDING BACK THE CLOCK
FAIR WEATHER RACING IN WINTER
SUNDAY 16th AUGUST

Greg Curnow made every post a winner on a stunning winter's day at Learmonth.
Curnow was the lone Limit rider and rode the perfect individual time trial.
It was fantastic to have Madam President Vicki Reed back racing for the first time since the autumn. Vicki was the sole 2nd Limit rider and only got passed in the last few kilometres.
The next riders on the road were David O'Brien, Roger McMillan and Danny Whelan. This group broke up mid-race with O'Brien streaking away in hot pursuit of the out-markers.

The midfield groups saw the pairing of Rhiannon Attiwill and Dennis Shaw.
Rhiannon cleared away on return leg on the long climb.
A group of four riders led by Glenn Ford were next on the road. Ably assisted by Lindsay Burgoyne, Jarrod Boyd and Tom Moreno. The quartet splintered nearing Addington - losing Moreno - then soon after caught O'Brien.

Did we mention the fantastic weather?
The light easterly breeze ensured a fast day of racing and was a factor in the back markers staying at the rear.
Greg Ley towed Stuart Pearse and Dean Wells along to the turnaround before sharing out a little more of the workload.
The trio only caught a couple of dropped riders on the return leg and did enough to stay clear of the back-markers.
Second Scratch saw the formidable quartet of Darryn Reed, Tim Sinclair, Mike Slater and Jason Hendry power across the course. They lost Hendry in the last few kilometres yet only lost 90 odd seconds to Scratch.
Scratch was led by the machine Chris Kennedy with Gareth Aplin, Jason Birch and Dayne Pearce along for the ride.

To the front of the race and Curnow took the win by about two minutes over O'Brien who had hung onto Ford and Co. when they caught him at Addington... then sprinted around them for second place.
Ford continued his great run of form and took third place ahead of Boyd, with Burgoyne taking fifth place.
Rhiannon was next across the line before, just in front of McMillan and Moreno, with Wells and Ley rounding out the Top 10.
Kennedy blasted away from Scratch to take Fastest Time.

Thank you to all the volunteers who made the day's racing possible.
Officials - Bill Goldfinch and Graeme Parker
Marshals - Craig Jenkins, Peter Livitsanis and Andrew Rushton
Clubrooms - Lois Goldfinch, Lyn Rock, Mal Rock and Linda Whelan

Sorry everyone, tomorrows race won’t be going ahead.

04/08/2026

🚴 Did you know there are currently 11 races scheduled between now and November?

Why does that matter?

To be eligible for the Eureka Cycling Club Road Championship, you need to have completed at least 5 Eureka Cycling Club races during the season and undertaken any assigned marshal duties.

👉 Please note: The January Fun Crits and Winter Fun Crit Series do not count towards championship qualification.

The good news is there's still plenty of time to qualify—but don't leave it until the last five races! We can't control the weather, and occasionally races may be cancelled due to poor conditions or low rider numbers. Getting your qualifying rides done early is the safest way to ensure you're eligible.

✅ Entries for the next four races are now open on EntryBoss, with the following races opening one month before their scheduled race day.

Jump on, lock in your entries and we'll see you out on the road! 🚴💨
