The last time I raced a criterium down at Rockingham was the same event for 2012 - the WCMCC Age Division Criterium Championships. Last year was a very hard ride amongst a 40-44 year old field loaded with A graders. This year, there were 15 riders scheduled to make a start in the same division with half the riders being A graders, including Doug Steward and Roger Knight to name a few. However, this time around I would be among team mates in Paul Foxwell (great rider) and Craig Pennell (strong TT rider). I went down to Rockingham with a race plan but would also wait to see what Craig and Paul had planned.

Pemberton Classic - C Grade :: 2nd & 3rd March, 2013
2013 has seen me participate in more Cycling WA sanctioned events and March 2nd & 3rd was my first participation in the Pemberton Classic. For those not familiar with the Classic (I'm sure there aren't many), this event comprises 2 races, a Criterium event on the Saturday afternoon and a Road Race on the Sunday morning. AP had arranged some amazing accommodation for Saturday night which was to provide a comfortable night's rest between the Crit and the Road Race. We opted to drive down on Saturday morning to arrive by around 2pm. I expected that the drive might not be the best preparation for a Criterium but this was not really a concern as my focus was more for the Road Race and whatever was to happen in the Criterium was fine with me.
