a great day of racing for the women’s national road championships. the day consisted of multiple break aways and eventually came down to a sprint between 4 riders. wa’s leonie burford was the lone rider in the HAYS kit and she did well to stay with the group up until the pace broke the main peloton down to just 18 riders. jennelle crooks also performed well and managed to secure the bronze medal in the u23 division.
