April 12th 2006 Jim Fawcett Memorial Handicap 6 May 2006 at 1.30pm hosted by Northern Combine & Coburg Cycling Club Circuit: Newham - Rochford - Lancefield (93km) Please note start in Newham Map: Courtesy Hawthorn CC Entries close with Paul Logan (0419 350 693) or Luke McDonough (0418 106 628) or Email: entry@coburgcycling.com.au STRICTLY at 9.00pm on Thursday 4 May (Riders who do not enter by this date and time will NOT be able to start under any circumstance) Jim Fawcett ( ???? - 1987) Jim Fawcett took up cycling in his early 30s after a successful football career in the VFA with Preston, which included winning a club best and fairest, and an equally successful district cricket career. During his time in cycling, Jim was a huge contributor at both the Preston and Coburg Cycling Clubs and was instrumental in getting criterium racing going on a Saturday afternoons at Essendon Airport. In 1985 Jim won the Melbourne-to-Yarrawonga. The win typified the man - he rode off a middle mark, never missing a turn and spent the final 30km with one rider sitting on his wheel, unwilling to work. Undeterred he pressed on and took out the sprint in what was a popular victory. Sadly Jim was killed when he was hit by a bus whilst training on the morning of 1 April 1987. He left behind a wife, two teenage sons and three young daughters. He was the reason I took up cycling and is one of the best human beings I've ever met. *Matthew Keenan* April 10th 2006 Tour of the Southern Grampians The Tour of the Southern Grampians was held over the weekend, and again was a huge success.
