There was a nasty crash involving the training ride that I normally go on.
One rider has died after a semi trailer collided with the group of around 19
riders on the "Swansea Express" training ride and another possibly in a
critical condition.
I have not been able to contact anyone from the ride I know as yet so don't
have more details than than what I have heard on the local radio.
I was not on the ride as I looked out side and it was windy and the roads
were wet and I decided I would go back to warm bed and train later in the
day, I did not want to risk a chill as I am racing in the Cronulla Crits
this weekend and the ride is also very very fast and my legs are still a
little flat after 3 days of racing over the weekend.
On good days I have seen 40 riders on this run with several sections of the
ride at 50+ km/h (on the flats), and a KOM up the hills on the return, this
ride is sometimes harder than the local A grade racing.
At our AGM last Tuesday Olivia Gollan proposed we do something for the Amy
Gillet foundation, the committe of Kooragang cycling club decided that we
will be hosting a charity event for it, the Australia Day Amy Gillett
Foundation Race on the 28th January.

The club will be donating at least $1000 to the foundation, so anyone in the
area that wants to race for a good cause please come along and support it.
