DROC Rocks! At the traditional Queens Birthday weekend, held in the highly technical granite areas of Mt Korong and Kooyoora State Park, DROC were Rock Stars! On day 1, in extremely adverse weather conditions, we mastered the intricate courses at Korong Spur and took 4th place in the InterClub competition (the aptly named Rockhopper Trophy). Day 2 was at Kooyoora, with much longer, tougher courses. We conquered them well and truly, blasting our way to an unprecedented SECOND PLACE for the day in the Rockhopper tally. Only Bendigo could beat us as other more fancied clubs fell by the wayside. This hugely successful weekend saw us rock-et up the overall rankings from 8th to 5th, leapfrogging over TK, MF and EU.

Keep the momentum going: come along to the next State Series race at Lake Eppalock on Sunday July 19, a wonderful spur-gully map wth fast open forest. Then sign up for the Club Relays - this year close to Melbourne, at Plenty River, on Sun August 9. There's a team place for all abilities and its a great fun, social day out. With Rockhopper points at stake, we need YOU! See Debbie if you're available.
