Entries for the Forbes Flatland Cyclo Sportif last weekend doubled with about 80 riders from all over NSW competing in the two events.
Line honours in the 120km event went to Dubbo’s Michael Ticehurst averaging a blis- tering 40km/h. He was followed by Adam Coleman from Orange and Hayden Bird from MacGregor ACT. The first female fin- isher was Jennifer Short.
The 72km event was dominated by Ba- thurst cyclists with Harry Bryant in first posi- tion, Stuart Renshaw second and Thereisa Gallagher third. Local Nick Turner and Nick Field flew the Forbes flag with top ten placings.
Matthew Hancock said the club was really happy with the day and received fan- tastic feedback from riders who did not real- ise how lovely Forbes was to ride in. “They can’t wait for next year’s event.”
The club thanked the sponsors and the many volunteers who helped on the day. The profits of the day will be donated to a charity still to be decided on.
