| May 07, 2012 CycleNation Admin | | Start-line. Looked around, everyone was here. Again. Blair, Jackson, Mather, Lewis, English, Downing, Fellows, Trenton Day, Fleming, plus a bunch of other local riders, all of whom could right in amongst it on race day. The Real Insurance Series has certainly brought the standard of racing up a notch. Its a serious business these days. |
