An outstanding performance from our Elite Mens Team has resulted in their winning the Queensland State Team Time Trial at Laidley last Sunday.

The team of Matt Werrell, Ricky Lanyon, Ben Cutajar and Peter Gwynne beat a strong field over 80 kms by just 6 seconds. Conditions were extremely difficult with the prevailing strong winds and it is a credit to these riders to have shown such determination to achieve a gold medal performance.

Gold Coast CATS were well represented on the day with 4 Mens teams and 2 Womens teams all of whom performed with merit.  In addition to the Gold Winning performance of the Elite Mens team special mention must go to the following:

SILVER medals were won by our Womens Masters team of Sally Smalley, Lisa Drew, Janine Parkin, and Debra Marl, and our Mens Masters 6/7 team of Paul Wild, Robert Driver, Ron Hewes, and Steve Davies. Whilst our Mens Masters 2/3 team of Mark Brady, Garry Elliott, Greg Pooley and Peter Roper were awarded BRONZE.

Other Gold Coast CATS riders to take to the road included the second Mens Masters 2/3 team of Gary Parkin, Pat Goddard, Nathen Berghammer, and  Richard Mier. The Womens Elite team consisted of Heidi Croxson, Renee Stone, Brittany Lyndores, and Amanda Scott.

Congratulations go to all who braved the difficult conditions and wore their Gold Coast CATS colours with pride.
