Footscray Cycling Club: Murchie ahead of pack

ADAM Murchie survived the gruelling climb on the Sheoaks circuit in the Brisbane Ranges to win the ninth round of the Footscray Cycling Club’s winter road season.

Murchie, a successful company director and former executive officer at CycleSport Victoria, negotiated a difficult 1kilometre accent the better and finished off the A-grade race strongly in a sprint.

Murchie, a Bikebug rider, finished comfortably ahead of teammates Stuart Morgan and Ben Johnson.
