2. The upcoming Cycle Sports Mania is a promotion by the Darwin Cycling Club and Triathlon NT to foster participation in a number of sports involving bicycles. The racing program will consist of graded duathlon racing and participation level cycling events. The Duathlon racing on the Cycle Sports Mania program is a Triathlon Northern Territory event, (not a Darwin Cycling Club event). There is no entry fee for any athletes possessing a current TA licence. The entry fee for non members is $3. The event is designed to demonstrate multi-sport racing as well as provide the opportunity for non members to ‘have a go’. Organisers are hoping you will come and race your mates, race the kids or just have some fun. Further details and event program are attached.

3. As well as Chad Anderson in the Olympic Distance event on the Gold Coast, keep an eye out for Kyle Gear (a late entry for the Aquathlon event) and Loie Sharp of Alice Springs (competing in the Sprint Distance event).

4. If anyone has a sure fire remedy for the flu, I'd love to hear it. Currently feeling like I've been hit by a truck.

Cheers,
Robyn

OTHER NEWS:

1. Rowena Eastick took part in the Vietnam Triathlon over the weekend. Results not yet available.

2. Chad Anderson (still sporting bandages) tried out his Australian team gear at the race yesterday. Chad looks hot to give his age group at Worlds one hell of a crack in a fortnight.

3. News not so good for Monica Stewart. Mon has had to withdraw from the Australian age group team due to ill health interrupting her preparation. We commiserate with her and judging by her performance at Cas Beach yesterday, know it won't be long before she is back to top form.

4. Those who did the Tour de Timor have returned to Darwin looking a tad thinner. Sounds like it was a very challenging experience (and that was just to get enough to eat & drink). !

5. Lee Wilson will conduct a weekly swim/bike (wind trainer)/run session at Casuarina Pool commencing on Monday night 7 September from 6.15pm. The session is open to all DTC members with a particular focus on junior development. For more information see http://triathlonnt.com.au/#/development/4533007013 or email lee.wilson@ausport.gov.au.

6. The Darwin Cycling Club's Cycle Sports Mania, is to be held at the velodrome on Saturday 12 Sept 09. Cycling enthusiasts from all clubs and organisations are welcome to attend. The aim is to have a fun filled afternoon and provide a venue for all of those people interested in bikes can come along and swap stories, and watch or even participate in the activities. For further details on activities see www.darwin.cycling.org.au

Robyn
