Byron Bay Cycling Club (BBCC) kicked off its autumn season with criterium racing at the Cavanbah Centre track last Sunday.

Competitors came from Victoria, Yamba, Coffs Harbour, the Dirty Wheels Mountain Bike Club (MBC), as well as the University of Queensland and Gold Coast Cycling Clubs.

To start the day, D grade and veterans competed in a combined race with riders ranging from teenagers to seniors.

Tracey Flintoff from the  Dirty Wheels MBC finished third overall behind John Reuth (BBCC) and George Bloor (BBCC). Oliver Morgan, Marco Goldenberg (BBCC) and Phill Finemore (BBCC) filled the veteran’s podium.

Junior racing included a field of U/10s. Elijah Punch won the event while Lexi Flintoff and Amilia Punch showed girl-power taking second and third.

C grade riders set off for 35-minutes plus three more laps in their race. The eventual placings were: Kasey Clarke (Uni QLD CC), Glen Ford (Eureka VIC CC) and Renato Keča (Yamba CC).

B grade had the largest field and had 40-minutes plus three laps to complete. It was lively race with lots of attacking moves and teamwork on show.

The top placing was taken by Kabir Antoniak (GCCC) in a powerful breakaway. Second and third went to BBCC members Mat Johnson and May Perkins who beat the bunch home in a tight sprint.
