A small field of riders participated in the 40km Blue Pyrenees Bike Ride from Maryborough to the winery.
In idyllic conditions the riders averaged 30km/hr to complete the ride in a time of 1:19hrs.
The cyclists traveled in a tight bunch for the majority of the ride before Peter Neville made a break away approximately 4km from the Blue Pyrenees Winery. Both Gerald Salmon and Gary Saunders responded immediately to this surge in an attempt to chase Peter down. Although Peter had gained a 50m lead on the chase group, it was Gerald Salmon who was able to make up this ground before the finish to take line honours on the day. Peter held off the fast finishing Gary Saunders however to take second place, with the remainder of the riding group finishing only a couple of minutes behind.
The Maryborough & District Triathlon Club Inc. would once again like to thank the Blue Pyrenees Winery for their support of the “club”.
The “club’s” next event will be a triathlon at the Maryborough Sports & Fitness Centre on Sunday 8th November 2009 at 9.30am (Registration). All current and prospective members are encouraged to come along and participate or just spectate.
