World Masters Games Australia 2009

Derek Smith has attained a Gold Medal in the over 75s sprint category at the World Masters Games in Australia at the Dunc Gray Velodrome. Derek is over in Australia with the British contingency for the World Masters Games and the UCI World Masters Track Championships which have yet to take place. John King also competes.

Former Schlapper Christine Higgs also competes and has gained one Gold in the scratch race and 2 Bronzes in the World Masters Games.

No doubt Derek will keep me informed of his progress by text :-) I have yet to tell him though that he phoned me by mistake and I had a good listen to him packing his kit up ;-) A bit better than the accidental call that I had from Jo Fenwick the other week where I had to listen to her sawing wood!!! The wonder of mobile phones ...............

That's brill news, so pleased for Derek as he's been competing against riders 10 years younger than himself due to the Masters age categories. Put him in with riders of equal age and he's still the tops. Pity they can't handle a mobile phone as well as a bike tho! :-)
