IMPORTANT: Last year we had a few unsavoury incidents occur in the Main Street of Kangarilla in regards to parking. Local residents experienced cars being parked blocking driveways & when asked to move their cars to allow a clear path from homes in the Main Street, some of “us” abused the locals. This is totally unacceptable & disgusting behaviour – please respect that we have to get approvals from local council & we need to keep the residents on side. Lets not shoot ourselves in the foot – it’s not hard to get on – we would like to keep using this location – it’s up to all of us to do the right thing. Anyone who doesn’t want to make the effort to get along & show respect – please feel free to not nominate & just stay away…rant over.

Steph is flying with 2 silver medals at Worlds

South Coast’s Stephanie Morton had a blinder at the UCI World Championships in Hong Kong.

Not only did she become just the fourth Aussie woman to stand on the podium for a World Championship sprint event, Steph earned two silver medals (sprint with a new 200m PB, and Team Sprint with a new national record) and a fourth in the Keirin – all this after a fall in the Keirin at Nationals in March  which left her with hairline fractures in her shoulder and concussion!

We love Steph and we’re glad we have her to look up to!
