15.01.2022 Members & friends We are currently finalising our return to sport approvals with Council and Police. As we use public roads it takes a little longer than using a closed circuit.We also need permission to access Oakville School, this is proving difficult as with school holidays starting. We still hope to recommence racing this Saturday 11th July, but it is more likely to be Saturday 25th July 2020. However, this Thursday, late, we will make final decision whether we can star...t on the 11th or 25th of July and post to Facebook & Email members, so stay watching. For those who need to race don't forget Penrith Cycling Club will be running a time trial on the 18th of July and all are welcome. Keep safe & good riding to all PCC Executive

With 5 riders already feeling the pressure and being off the back of the bunch never to return. On lap 3 this ended up being a solos away with Rylee Field applying plenty of pain. Ryle eventually returned to the bunch with 2 laps to go and a breather was taken until the last lap when 3 riders managed to again get off the front of the main group. This small break held onto the margin until the finish.

11.01.2022 Dear members, Parramatta Police have approached the Club with the following message: A user of Parramatta park approached police indicating that cyclists in Parramatta Park are riding in large groups (pre-covid), riding in a manner dangerous and riding at speeds faster than the posted speed limit (30km/h). There was a comment that a timing system was seen to be used on some ride groups.... I wanted to enquire if it is possible to email or use social media to contact your members to give a general communication on their use of Parramatta Park and to make sure they are riding in a safe manner so as not to cause issues with pedestrians. We are not making any accusations of your club, rather than attempting to get the message across to everyone in the most effective way possible. If you know of another club or group using the park, could you please let me know so I can communicate to them as well. As riders start to return to riding in the park , we hope that we can make sure there are no issues ongoing. Members: please do your utmost to promote safe cycling and sharing of Parramatta Park. PCC is aware of the other cycling clubs using the park and has passed on this message to them. Finally, when you are out cycling and proudly wearing your Club kit, be mindful that you are drawing attention to the Club by the way you are cycling. The Club does not condone breaking the law under any circumstance. We thank you for your cooperation. Parramatta CC Executive Committee

11.01.2022 Dear members Welcome to our October update & call for assistance in 2021 The main items are: 1. The executives proposal for AGM 2. Desperate need for new Race Secretary/Handicapper & Vice president... 3. Club ride 29 November 4. First Aid Training 5. Racing coordinator It is an understatement to say this year has been different. With Covid 19 we have had to seriously curtail the clubs activities. We were unable to hold our annual Easter Ride & regular group rides on the racing front 8 of 12 race days had to be cancelled. Once Covid 19 restrictions were eased the first of our four remaining race dates was dedicated to the juniors event run by LACC .The last 3 races were fantastic events with large fields.

10.01.2022 PCC's annual social ride held in place of the Easter Ride which was cancelled due to the COVID Pandemic. There was a good turnout despite the heatwave conditions. A big welcome to new members that joined us today.

08.01.2022 Parramatta Cycling Club Results Oakville 22/8/20 A Grade - 7 laps 50.4 Kilometres 9 Starters... 1st Place; Peter Wakefield Time 76 minutes 18 seconds 2nd Place; Taylor Forrest Marconi 3rd Place; Andre Dubier LACC After a leisurely first lap the pace progressively got quicker until Peter Went solo after 4 laps. With the chasing group splintering creating a lack of teamwork within the group to try and pull Peter back he went on to win by 3 minutes with a 4 up sprint for the minor placings. B Grade 6 Laps 43.2 kilometres 22 Starters 1st Place; Matt Hale SU Velo Time 57.17 2nd Place; Glen Vermaak - Penrith 3rd Place; David Moore NWSCC After a steady start the pace increased on lap 3 with 1 rider away at the end of the lap. A group of 3 then formed off the front and managed to stay away from the chasing bunch. A contested finish with Matt proving to strong. C Grade 5 laps 36 kilometres 13 Starters 1st Place; Andrew Copeman - Parramatta Time 65.20 2nd Place; Nick Drew - NWSCC 3rd Place; ? Number not corresponding with sign on sheet C Grade was given the task of trying to catch D grade which had a low number of starters. This was achieved in the final straight for all but one rider. Andrew at his first race managed to out sprint the pack for a comfortable win and immediate promotion into B Grade. D Grade - 4 laps 28.8 kilometres 5 Starters. 1st Place; Rob Twyerould NWSCC Time 53.25 2nd Place; Richard Field - Parramatta 3rd Place; Ella Hussein - NSCC Rob managed to ride away from the group after 1 lap and continue to increase his margin over the following laps. The only question was if he could stay away from the C Grade chase which he also managed to do. Given the windy conditions it was a strong solo effort, but he won’t be sneaking back to D grade anytime soon.
