Geelong Advertiser Article

Well folks, we finally got into the paper but not what we expected. Our you-beaut photo we all posed for at Rnd 2 clubday didn’t get printed (yet!), but a story did appear in Tuesday June 10 Addy, albeit nothing like we had written! The story did promote our Junior Development Team though which was good. How do you think it came across? See here for a copy of the story.

Bomber's Setback!

S.M.C.C. member and 2006 National Cup winner Tom 'Bomber' Ovens, has been ruled out of this years Pro-Lites championship after a knee injury sustained during a training ride recently.

At the time of the accident Tom thought he had simply "tweaked" his knee, but scans and visits to his surgeon yesterday revealed that he will require reconstructive surgery to repair a torn ACL and ruptured meniscus in his right knee. No crash was involved, just a simple bump to the knee whilst sliding his foot around a turn.

Needless to say Tom is devastated with the news as he was keenly looking forward to competing in this years Pro-Lites Championship. "Last year in the National Cup was the best year of my career so far, and I had been feeling really good in my training in the lead up to this years season. To now not be able to race is very hard to take" he said. "My plan now is to work hard on my rehab and get back to race fitness as soon as possible for the end of year races."

Tom would like to thank his sponsors;
Peter Stevens Honda Geelong / Lifeline Financial Services / Fox / Oakley / GT bicycles / Pro-Circuit / Dunlop / 100% MX / Storm and Chad’s Off Road Set-Ups for their great ongoing support.

"Save Barrabool" Riding School - Thanks Tom & Mark!
SMCC Club coaches, Tom Ovens and Mark Willingham just completed a very successful riding school where everyone was a winner!

Tom and Mark very generously donated the takings to the "BIG PICTURE" Wall, giving SMCC another boost of cash and enthusiasm in our efforts to save McAdam Park. They were ably assisted by Alex Dunscombe, another of our club coaches, who is well known around the club.

All riders were rapt with the professional tuition they received from the guys, many of them also racking up the 5 hours coaching they need to upgrade their MA racing licenses.

Thanks Tom, Mark and Alex! Your tiles are in area 3 on the Big Picture Wall.
