The battle for the 2015 Winter Aggregate Race Series goes down to the wire with six riders still in contention for overall honours.
For everyone else, there is still pride and a $50 Europa Cafe voucher to win on race 5.

John Creek leads the aggregate by a few points, however either Ray Hodgson or Peter Livitsanis can take the winter aggregate with a good result this Sunday.
Also in contention for overall honours are Bob Morley, Greg Curnow and Richard Adams (Warrnambool VCC).
These riders will need to win and hope the John, Ray and Peter have a poor day at the office.
Other riders with a chance to climb onto the final podium include Grant Dawson, Graeme Parker, Tony Herbert and Darren Terry.

The winner of the aggregate will receive a $50 Europa Cafe voucher.  All riders who finish on the podium will receive sparkling wine to celebrate their achievement.

The Eureka Vets CC are excited to welcome Europa Café on as W.A.R.S. sponsor in 2015.

Located at 411 Sturt Street in the centre of Ballarat, we can think of no better place to relax,
either apres velo (after cycling) or just because it’s warm and friendly.

Kathryn and Jason wanted to be involved with the club and show their support for local sport.

Just a block and 1/2 “up” from the Town Hall, Europa Café is perfectly situated close to the Central Square shopping precinct.

Europa is a spacious, inexpensive family style café, where the coffee is great and the buzz is lively.
The lunch/dinner menu is seasonal and ranges from Italian to venturesome and imaginative Middle Eastern and Asian dishes.
The wine list is extensive and admirable with many by the glass.
All day breakfast at Europa has become something of an institution.
If you are visiting from out of town you should have at least one breakfast during your stay…
if you are a local Kathryn, Jason and the team look forward to seeing you again and again and again…

Open everyday from 7:00am for breakfast and lunch.
