Members of the ADF Cycling Club (ADFCC) rode alongside Olympic
gold medallist Kathy Watt during the Tour De Perth last month.
The event was held in Kalamunda, which is in the hills of Western
Australia 45 minutes east of Perth.
The field comprised riders from all over Australia as well as
Malaysia’s national team and Watt, who made the trip from Victoria
to compete.
The Kalamunda region has developed a reputation for providing
a tough venue for the national road series category one Tour.
The Tour comprises four stages over two days including a 4.2km
time trial, two 60km road races and a 1 hour criterium.
ADFCC members Jason Pelham and Daniel Marsden both competed in
the strong field and performed well. Both riders managed to come
across the line in the top 20 in a field of 60.
Anyone interested in joining the ADFCC should contact their local
representatives.
