Awesome effort, Huw and Amy. Just awesome. Congratulations to both.

Penny farthing races are not UCI sanctioned, so Huw and Amy can wear whatever they like.


Personally, I think they should wear a jersy that has the Aussie colours on it. We could design one for them?

Yep top effort. I know Hugh is pure DHBC in spirit but just for the record is he still an official member of DHBC, or has he joined another club?

To me he will always belong to the red Jersey. I Just watched the clip Beanzy posted...I almost couldn't recognise Hew with all that facial growth.

Not forgeting all the other medals we picked up. We got third in the relay, the team was James, Huw, Amy and myself. I got second in the obstacle race. Every one else can fill you in on their places as I can't remember them.

In the road race James finished first, I managed second (it really hurt) and Huw came in a very close third with Amy who just missed out on an overall place coming in 4th. Amy was the first women in and Camilla was the third.

Results for me were 2nd in the Sprint (how???), 2nd in the A-grade missing out (towed Huw the whole way..), 3rd in the relay (Huw made a mistake and sat up too early). The main one was 1st in the road race, attacked and went solo with 28km to go, and had a sizeable gap at the finish.

I was riding so i didn't take any photos, but i'll see if i can get some.

James, I found this article today - http://www.examiner.com.au/news/local/n ... 57089.aspx

Nice photo of you on the finish line and a good one of Huw and Amy too. None of Christian though... If you're able to track down some that would be awesome.
