Grampians Vets Cycling Club

The Grampians Veteran Cycling Club is based in the Central Western part of Victoria, Australia, around the famous Grampians Ranges. The club was formed in 1996 to cater for the needs of older riders, who up until then had to travel long distances to find specific veteran events, or ride against much younger riders.

Crystal Wemyss won her division of the Australian Masters Road Championships, held at Ballarat on Sunday 9th November, 2011.

Unfortunately, Crystal missed the Time Trial held on the previous Thursday, as she was still recovering from a bad cold. We are sure she would have excelled in that event as well.

Congratulations from all club members Crystal!!
