Story by Dale Jennings…
Local legends aplenty turned out for Geelong Super Vets celebration of Seniors Week at the Geelong Criterium cycle race track in Belmont yesterday. One-time Warrnambool Road Race regular John Elliot, approaching 80, mingled with his 80 years-plus seniors Les Goody, Len Bent, Gil Wright, Brian Long, John Randall and Bill Mantova. All will keep a keen eye on this year’s ‘Warrnambool’, starting at Werribee at 7.30am Saturday.
Super Vet Criterium racing among 20 cyclists in three divisions followed a few warm-up laps. Carl Judd took out Group A from Laurie Fitzsimons and David Pike; Kym Clarke led home Ray Clifford and Robert Young; and breakaway Mel White held off Kent Fuller and John Randall.
