Albury Wodonga Cycling Club is pleased to present this race on behalf of the family. Woofa was a much loved sportsman, playing football at Yarrawonga and Mulwala. He was also passionate about being involved in junior sports.

His greatest cycling achievements were racing the Melbourne to Warrnambool and Melbourne to Yarrawonga many times. On one occasion, he won the criterium the day after the Melbourne to Yarrawonga and was also a winner of the Yarroweyah wheel race and many other track events!
