KCC rider and (Park Trent team and Bicycle Super Store sponsored rider), David Randall ticked off two of his goals with a win in the Points race at the State Track Championships and being named in the Victorian State track team.

David competed in the Individual Pursuit on the Saturday, then backed up on the Sunday to take out the Points race title.  His improved strength and endurance over the past 12 months was deomonstrated by his move off the front with another rider for the last 9 laps of the 100 lap event, and also taking out the final sprint to win the event by 6 points.

EXPRESSION OF INTEREST

Kelly Cycle Coaching is forming a Women’s VRS Road Cycling Team in 2014

In 2013 KCC established a road cycling team sponsored by Park Trent Properties.

KCC is expanding its program and from 2014, is adding a women’s road VRS team of approximately 10 riders.  The team will be a mix of experienced senior riders as well as U19 riders. The senior riders will act as role models and mentors to provide leadership, support and encouragement to the development team members.  The team’s racing will focus on the Victorian Road Series (A teams, B and C grades).

The team’s coach and directeur sportif will be Helen Kelly.  Helen is a level 2 accredited coach with a wealth of experience both as a coach and as a professional cyclist. She raced professionally for 8 years, representing Australia at the World Championship level and also raced in the women’s Tour de France and other major international races.

KCC has already selected several riders to be part of this VRS team.  KCC is calling for expressions of interest from women who would like to be part of this team, to fill the remaining places.

Selection will be dependent upon riders displaying the following key characteristics:

  • riding talent (as identified by KCC)
  • a team player (willingness to sacrifice personal goals for team goals when necessary)
  • dedication to the sport of cycling including to their training and racing
  • a willingness to take direction
  • a desire for excellence both on and off the bike
  • a recognition of the importance of balancing competing life demands.

If you are interested in being a part of the team, please complete the form (see link below) and return to Helen Kelly.  Email: helen@kellycycling.com.au
