Hi folks.

We've got a couple of nominations from the club in the Australian Cycling Federation awards, coming up soon.

Recent Vikings rectruit and MACT rider, Graeme Albon has been nominated for Australian Masters Rider of the year (and, quietly, just between you and me, is looking good to take it out). And I quote:

"Graeme was named Champion of Champions at the Australian Masters Road Championships after collecting gold in the time trial, road race and criterium. On the track at national level he won gold in the points race and pursuit and at the Masters Track World Championships he triumphed in both those events as well. Not content with road and track Graeme also had a shot at MTB in 2009 claiming the silver medal in the cross country"

Sue Powell has been nominated for Elite Female Para-Cyclist of the year:

"Susan stamped her name on the road time trial gold medal at the Para-cycling World Championships in Italy. She then backed up to claim silver in the road race. Susan won double gold at both the Australian and Oceania Championships through victories in the road time trials and road races."

Sue's gotta have a strong chance with credentials like that!

They'll be rubbing shoulders with the elite of Australian cycling at the awards. Well done crew!!!

And I'm still sitting on Graeme's (tranfer) paperwork!!! Yikes, I'd better sort it out tonight.

Oh - and although CORC will probably claim her, Bec Henderson is also a member of Vikings and a finalist (Junior Female MTB)!

Rebecca Henderson
Rebecca is the reigning Australian and Oceania U19 XCO Champion and at the World Championships in her hometown she scored a top ten finish with her seventh place across the line.

I wasn't sure whether Bec was a Viking. Good luck Bec!

Pretty decent list of credentials there. Very impressive!

I think my resume tops out with an E grade crit victory so no real surprises that I didn't make the cut.

Mate, with those credentials you'll certainly be above me on the list.
