🚴♂️ PMCC CRITERIUM LAUNCH — A HUGE HIT AT THRUMSTER! 🎉
Sunday 26 July
The very first Port Macquarie Cycling Club criterium at Thrumster Business Park delivered everything we hoped for — fast racing, big smiles, and a cracking new circuit that proved quick, punchy, and definitely not as flat as it looked. Those sneaky rises kept riders working all morning.
A crisp start ❄️ didn’t stop the fun, with spectators, cheers, and plenty of excitement around the course.
🌟 Ride of the Day — Tiffany Bowden
A brilliant effort from Tiffany, our sole female rider and lone D Grader, who dug deep and hung on to the C Grade boys for lap after lap.
Super gutsy riding. More women next time — Tiffany has set the standard.
🔥 First‑Timers on Top
Experience? Optional.
Two newcomers — Michael Chaffer and Sam Rooimans — stormed home to win B Grade and C Grade respectively. Outstanding riding.
