Western Australian Motoretta Giro 2017

4/5/2017

0 Comments

 
10 riders assembled at the top of Gooseberry Hill on an overcast day for the West Australian Motoretta Giro 2017. Tea and coffee was provided …..including HiLo and Soy milk. In addition to four of the inaugural attendees (Simon, Renato, Eddie, and Andy) this years event attracted six new riders: “Lucky’ Phil Synott, ‘Welsh’ Mark, Tony Wong, Tom Colville, ‘Rocket’ Ron Laycock, and Phil Green.  It was great to see people coming up for the morning just to spectate and to have the assistance of Carol, Angie and Tracey, with the timekeeping.

WA Giro participants recognize that we will never beat other states with such a challenging route, but are content with the competition within the riders and the thrill of knowing we could plunge to our death at any given moment.

Although the same route as last year, times were much slower, partially due to what turned out to be a dozen old Rolls Royce doing the Zig Zag at the same time, but there was not much to be done about it but keep going, although at least one contestant decided it was as good a time as any for a toilet break.
Last years winner Eddie (RMC) managed third with an average difference of 17 secs, with Andy Marsh coming in at second on 14 secs and Rob Bollingbroke winning the day on 13 secs.
