Cyclists hit the road in the LDI Constructions Criterium - Race 1
Stage 1 of the LDI Constructions Cairns Cycling Criterium was held today (Sunday) in Cairns. Approximately 60 members of Cairns Cycling Club competed over the short one kilometre road course in Bungalow.
Racing conditions were ideal for the event with brilliant skies and very little wind. B Grade was strongly contested with 21 competitors. It was a battle between the Hutton brothers, with David pipping brother Greg for 1st place ion race 1.
B Grade Sprint winner Scott Gavin finished 5th in the race to sit comfortably in 3rd place overall from the day’s racing.
The LDI Constructions Criterium will be held over 4 stages over the coming months. The Cairns Cycle Club has resumed weekly racing after a prolonged layoff due to COVID restrictions.
Cairns Cycling Club President and Race Referee, Richie Bates was pleased with the turn out for today’s event.
“This is the first of 4 races in the LDI Construction Criterium. This road course could be the one used for the Barrier Reef Masters Games early next year.
“ Riders are loving being back on their bikes and we are building up with a focus to the Masters Games next year,” said Bates.
