ANZA Cycling said goodbye to another great year of cycling, tours and friendship with a fabulous end of year bash at The Dempsey Project. The evening kicked off with a buzz as Abraham Metta took the stage, charming the crowds with his unique way of making everyone feel right at home. He didn’t waste a minute before diving into the warm welcomes and special thanks. There were some fresh new faces on the cycling committee to highlight – Ashrin Amir, who’s jazzing up the club’s events, and new Road Director Scott Mitchell, who’s steering us into exciting rides for 2024.
During the sponsor’s shout-out the crowd went wild for TVH Group who we’re thrilled to announce as our main sponsor – Daniel Brownlie was there soaking up the gratitude. A huge shout-out also went to Odin Mortgage and Tax who’ve joined the gang along with the folks from Strength Clinic Academy. We’re so happy to have you on board!
Of course, it wasn’t all speeches, handshakes and applause. We had our own ANZA Cycling heroes to highlight such as Martin Herbrich and Gillian Li who did us proud at the Tour de Batam. Martin absolutely smashed it with a stage win, and Gillian showed everyone how it’s done by finishing first in her category.
Then there were prizes, prizes and more prizes – the generosity of our sponsors was something else. Trouble Brewing provided some swag and TVH some very cool Bluetooth speakers. A special thank you also goes to member Martin Tresca from DCK Board Shorts as well as Wouter Duyck from Zenko Superfoods. It was the always-smiling Sarah Zhang who won the big prize, a shiny new Chapter 2 frameset from BB Bike Studio. We can’t wait to see her hit the road on that beauty.
The night also included some very touching moments, with Megan Kinder and Andrew Cherriman receiving Lifetime Memberships. Megan, our former club president and current ANZA President, has done wonders for ANZA Cycling, setting the bar high for how we roll today. Andrew, with his captain hat on for the Saturday rides and his knack for organising the annual KL trip, has been the heartbeat of our community.
Everyone mingled and shared stories of their two-wheeled escapades while enjoying nibbles and sipping drinks. It was a night that reminded us all why we love the club so much. ANZA Cycling is not just about the biking; it’s about the people, the friendships, and the good times we have when we’re not pounding the pedals. Here’s to another year of great rides and company!
