Lucky you went along, eh Sue?! Great picture in the paper too.

Glenn Doney also got ACTAS coach of the year, which I don't think is the first time for him. Well done guys!

Thanks guys/gals. It was certianly a surprise and i thought the whole podium thing in Italy was the hardest part of cycling.... but this was much more nerve wracking. ALso they wouldn't let me put the helmet and sunnies on for the photo!

The article is online: (but no photo :-( )

Check out this quote:
''Sue pretty much came out of nowhere,'' Stainlay said. (assistant manager Andrew Stainlay)

Sue did come from somewhere, she was actually a graduate of the very first novice program!

I think this is a great example of the benefits of building a sport up from the "grassroots".

That doesn't include racing and marshalling for 'the others'.

Well done Sue. You deserve the accolades. Hats/hemets off to you!
