bikeNOW mechanic Murray Spink has been named the 2009 Caulfield Glen Eira/Port Phillip Lead Senior Sport Star of the Year.

Spink, 30, won the Australian Marathon Championship in September last year, outsprinting two other riders to the line to win the race and a wife.

Murray had promised to propose to his fiancee if he won and he stuck to his word, asking Elwood’s Sarah Riley to marry him.

The evening had sports journalist Stephen Quartermain as MC with entertainment from comedian Andrew Startin.

The COGS Girls group ventured off to Belgrave and Lysterfield for an introductory day to MTB riding.

The day started with a safety brief at Belgrave before heading off towards Kallista to do some “log jumping”!

As you can see from the pics below all the girls soon became skilled at riding over obstacles, but not before some close calls. Warren was on hand to catch any damsels in distress! Lucky Ladies!!!!

From here the group rode the Dargon track through to Lysterfield Park for a brilliantly catered lunch.

The group then headed off and rode the Boys Farm trail.

A great day was had by all with many “non-believers” at the start of the day surprising themselves with how well they adjusted to MTB riding.

A big thanks to Liz O’Dea for organising the day.

Keep an eye on the COGS girls group for details of a road ride in the Dandenong’s next month.
