NSW Masters Road Champs 15and16/5 VIKINGS BLING CENTRAL!

[SSSimon]

Yes, even with a lower turnout this year Vikings still done good. Vikings ladies got a fair bit of bling!

The Vikings blokes didn't do too bad with yours truly pulling off a big 4/3 rider break away race with flying finish to take the title, gold medal and NSW Masters M5 champs jersey.

A great weekend of racing. One mishap for Vikings Master Peter Klein, who was involved in a crash in the M5 crit. Get well soon Pete. Pete was finding good form in the recent Vikings ITT series.

News is the next 2 year's NSW Masters Champs are being hosted by Goulburn CC!

[SSSimon]

Peter Klein is in Canberra hospital with a broken leg after NSW Masters Champs race crash.

[grumpybug]

that's some mishap! Here's to Peter, wishing him a speeding recovery.

[JimV]

Peter's leg is broken near the top of the femur and will require surgery with pinning. Looks like it will be a lengthy recovery.
I'm not sure of all results, but Terry Moore took the Gold in her Crit. She had that Michael Aisbitt 'Don't mess with Me' look in her eyes, so I think we'll all have to watch out (especially Mark). Congrats, Terry!!!
Allan Bontjer's form is continuing to confound his opposition as he showed great strength to take the bronze in the M3 Crit. in a top quality field.

Well done guys :)

I hope u recover quickly Pete.

[SSSimon]

Yes, an impressive ride from Al Bontjer, the bronze adding to his Australian Masters Track Champs scratch race silver medal.

[JimV]

Called Canberra Hospital this morning, I was not able to get any further information about Peter's condition, he is in ward 6B.

[Bean]

Nice work Vikings! Get well soon Peter. Sounds awful.

Great work Vikings and speedy recovery to Peter - a shame as he was a nice guy and regular attendee of the local races and sounds like he'll be out of action for a little while at least.

[grumpybug]

... a shame as he was a nice guy ....

What did he turn to the dark side or did something worse happen? :tongue2:

[j_young_80]

bloody grammar police!

Morya weather was beautiful ,saturday lined up with Masters 4 plus ,Lyn ,Terry and i from the vikings looking to bring bling home ,great course except finish was up a big hill .
We worked hard ,lot of work out the front ,because typical viking's don't hide in the back LOL.
56km last lap had a beautiful lead out ,one hill down one to go ,half way up decided to go,in the lead telling myself i have this .No "she who thinks she is Cadel "totally miss judges how far finish line is and gets swamped .

The crit same story ,but good to watch with the viking girls dominating all the action .
Terry (master mind) gots us to work together ,one would surge ,wewould sit back let the others chase then,another would go off .This was how it was done to the last two laps to go with Lyn being the last out kept working for the team sacrificing herself for us.
Last lap i knew one of us had this in the bag ,i got stuck left,pushed through in the front,again to early but Terry was behind me led her out for the win .Viking girls rock .

I dunno where Taylors going with that one but well done all! As I said to Simon C - if you all keep cleaning up at NSW Masters, they're going to stop handing out medals to ACT athletes!

[dadcram]

Get well Peter, I hope to see you back on the MTB soon and racing Super Masters. We miss you.

[LynV]

Simon C wanted to put in a bid for the NSW Road & Crit Champs to come to Canberra LOL, they are halfway here coming to Goulburn for the next 3 years brrrr

[Shridevi]

Good job masters!!

[Simonsky]

Simon C wanted to put in a bid for the NSW Road & Crit Champs to come to Canberra LOL, they are halfway here coming to Goulburn for the next 3 years brrrr

Yay! Flat courses!!! :vb_cheers:

Had better not move away from Canberra after all

[Sluggo]

I was talking to Con and some guys from the Goulburn City Council (who came down to Moruya to see what it's all about), it sounds like the race will head out towards the east, probably hilly, and knowing Goulburn will be bloody cold.

Will be nice with it being pretty close to Canberra.

[SSSimon]

Another big rap for Al Bontjer - the Vikings rider that scored the Bronze the the Mens Masters 3 crit, and got a silver in last month's National Masters Track M3 scratch race.

Both feats were attained on STEEL FRAMES AND FORKS - Llewellyn steel frame/forks to be precise.

[dadcram]

steel is real but for the price they would want to be fast!!!
Mr Llewellyn's parents can't spell his name but he can make bikes.
