As Troy 'Chomper' Hutchins boards the Storeys' Bus to Murray Bridge to help our Bendigo Senior SC at this year's Australian International Pedal Prix, he couldn't help but reflecting what we were up to 1 year ago...
"On this day 2009, 8 primed riders, a few pit crew and an epic trike took a trek to a um, arr, a great town(?). It feels like only yesterday."
Of course this day last year was also the day we bogged our bus!
A number of former Bendigo Youth Racing team members will be about as spectators this weekend.
Most notably Daryl King, who now teaches at Bendigo Senior SC, will be team managing and seeking a win in the Secondary category.
We wish all the teams safe travels to the hallowed track at Murray Bridge and clean, fast and competitive racing... it'd be great to be out there - but we're happy to have hung up the wheels too.
