The Drouin Cycles 1000 bike race sponsored by Wilf Tampaline drew a large crowd of Veteran Cyclists on Sunday morning despite the miserable weather. Local cyclists performed well even though they were competing against more experienced Melbourne riders. Graeme Hanks managed to break away in the 54 km D grade race and record a comfortable win. Ian Fromholtz and Brian Miller came third and fourth respectively in the 70 km C grade race. Wilf Tampaline announced after the race that he hoped to make the race an annual event

On Sunday (30th) the club will host the prestigious Ross Yeoman Memorial handicap race at Jindivick. Last year the race was won by Grub Melnyk riding off limit and fastest time was taken out by scratch man Rob Kypriotis.
