Jim Fawcett Memorial Handicap
Circuit: Newham - Rochford - Lancefield (93km) Entries
close with Paul Logan (0419 350 693) or Luke McDonough (0418 106
628) or 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
