The 2010 South West Series came to an end on Saturday the 18th of September, the Final event being the Camperdown Cup.
The Camperdown cup, an ideal event to wind up the Banks Thargo south West Series, was held in trying conditions, with strong winds and heavy showers throughout the event.
The Camperdown Cycling Club provided competitors with an excellent course, at just over 60km with a challenging up-hill up hill finish.
While most of the bunches combined well, the wind and undulating course took its toll.
At one stage a reasonable sized bunch of around 15 riders formed, second & third limit, this group looked to have things in hand until the king of the mountain sprint where this bunch splintered and lost far too many riders to hold of the back markers.
The scratchmen were able to pick up all the front markers before the final climb, even though they had lost David Tozer with a puncture.
Dylan Hatley was able to reach the finish line first to pick up first and fastest time with Simon Walsh coming over the line in second place.
Darcy Woolley from second scratch showed he is a future scratch rider by picking up 3rd place.

2010 "T.J. Goodall Memorial"
On Sunday the 12th of September 2010 the Hamilton Cycling Club hosted the “T.J. Goodall Memorial”
There were 36 starters for the event; a 64 km loop on circuit with “rolling Hills” and with a strong Northerly wind blowing the race was a challenging event.
The limit bunch with 6 riders had an 18-minute start on scratch and a 7-minute start on second limit.
All of the bunches rode well and mainly held together on the day, 3 limit riders stayed away for two thirds of race distance until second limit picked them up.
The other bunch making large amounts of time at this stage of the event were second scratch, they had picked up the 6.30-minute bunch and looked to have a win in sight.
That wasn’t to be the case with the out markers holding out, with Erich Gstrien taking out line honours just ahead of Brian Hayes and Spek.
Scratch although not catching second scratch rode well enough for David Tozer to pick up fastest time with a ride time of 1hour 34 minutes & 07 seconds.

4 riders from the 10min 30 bunch, Stuart McKinley, Stephen Jones, Adam Ballentyne & Mike Lawson managed to stay together on this climb and set into a good rhythm, working toward a strong finish.
The second scratch bunch also fragmented leaving just Richard schilling & Darcy Woolley to work together to hold off scratch and chase the rest of the field.
These 2 back markers did an exceptional job, they managed to chase down the entire field except the 4 riders from the 10.30 bunch.
Stephen Jones from Mt Gambier came in for a well deserved 1st followed by Mike Lawson MTG. In 2nd, Stuart McKinley MTG. 3rd, Woolley & Schilling managed to cross the line soon after the winner & scratch came in soon after with David Tozer from port fairy taking fastest time honours.

The 2010 Gorae west Classic
The Gorae West Classic hosted by the Portland Cycling Club was held on Sunday the 8th of August 2010.
Conditions were overcast with strong & gusty Northerly winds.
The Field of 41 riders was divided into 6 bunches with 10 limit riders getting a 16 minute start on the 3 scratchmen.
The large limit bunch rode well with 4 riders doing the lion share of the work and the others pitching in with turns often enough to keep the pace quite high, after 3 laps this bunch had held off the rest of the field and no other riders were in sight on the bell lap.
The 5.30-minute bunch had also ridden well enough to have caught the rest of the field and stay away from the now combined scratch & second scratch.
At the sharp turn half way into the last lap the front markers realised they had enough of a gap to hold off the large bunch of middle markers trying to bridge the gap.
On the last rise into the wind 2 km from the finish Peter Hol from Portland made a race-winning move by riding away from the front markers, realising half of the leading bunch didn’t have the legs to chase him down and the remaining riders would have to get quite organised to chase him down.
Peter Hol just managed to stay away for a well deserved win from Mount Gambier’s Tim Angus who came in a very close second.
Final Placings 1 Peter Hol, 2nd Tim Angus 3rd Chris West ptf. 4th Kathy Nunn mtg. 5th Daryl Edwards ptf. 6th James O’Keefe ptf. 7th Col Angus mtg. 8th Jon Kidman mtg 9th Robert Logan wrn, 10th Ashley Herrewyn mtg.
Fastest time went to Timshel Knoll-Miller from Port Fairy
These placings haven’t effected the SWS leader board too much, with Stuart Robinson crossing the line in 11th place his intentions to get the leaders jersey back from Dean Mclaren are quite plain.

The Max McKenzie Memorial
The Mount Gambier Cycling & Triathlon Club hosted the Max McKenzie memorial on Saturday July 24th 2010.
The event a 61 km in distance was once again held under ideal conditions, with little or no wind at the start and a slight tail wind advantage on the finishing straight.
The handicapper divided the field of 43 into 6 bunches with one lone limit rider Robin Herrewyn getting a 43 minute start on scratch.
At the halfway mark it looked as though Herrewyn may just hold out for the win & the 8.30 bunch & the 11.30 bunch came together as well, at this point the event looked to be between the middle markers and the lone limit rider.
About 6 km from the finish the well organised middle markers picked up the 16 minute bunch making a bunch of around 21 riders, at this point Robin Herrewyn was only around 1km off the front, once she was picked up there was no easing off of pace at all ensuring no back markers would catch.
Erich Gstrien from Camperdown took a well deserved win, getting caught on the front of the pack about 600meters from the line, then waiting for an inevitable jump which came at around 500 m, Erich grabbed the passing wheel of a rider who carried him closer to the line for a much shorter sprint for 1st.
Fastest time went to Tim Koopman from Mount Gambier
Final placing’s,
1st Erich Gstrien CPD, 2nd Steve King MTG., 3rd Darren Earl MTG, 4th Robert Logan PTF, 5th Craig Dunn MTG, 6th Steve McArthur MTG, 7th Mark Hermon HAM, 8th Dean McLaren HAM, 9th Steve Kennedy MTG, 10th Paul Bast HAM.
By coming 8th Dean McLaren from Hamilton now has the leader’s jersey in the Banks Thargo South West Series; Cathy Angus is now the leading female.
The next event is the Gorae West Classic, on Sunday 8th of August

65 km Beeac progress Association Winter Handicap
Port fairy cyclist Craig Taylor comfortably won Saturday’s 65km Beeac Progress Association Winter handicap raced in trying conditions.
The Race was hosted by the Colac cycling Club as part of the Banks Thargo Wines South West Series of road races.
Taylor made the most of his14.30 minute handicap and rode a controlled race in cold and wet conditions.
The talented port Fairy rider was the dominant member of his 10-strong bunch and he used his years of experience to keep most of the group working to the end.
The Taylor bunch had hit the lead with about 21 kilometres to travel in the race and never looked like getting caught by the back markers.
In the sprint for the line Taylor was too strong for his co-markers and he crossed the line a bike length ahead of Horsham’s Monica Kelly and Camperdown rider Jason Smith.
The Scratchmen had a tough day and rode the whole race on their own. With a 4.30 gap to the second scratch group their task was made much harder when two co-markers did not start and David Tozer punctured early.
Port Fairy’s Luke Aggett won the scratchmen’s sprint to take fastest time honours

during the first lap of the course, most of the bunches stayed together and worked exceptionally well, 3 of the bunches seemed to be working more efficiently than the rest of the field.
Scratch as usual rode well taking the "Time Trial" option, very effectively in the slight breeze.the 12 minute bunch were holding their advantage and the 19 minute bunch had the front of the race in control. During the second lap srcatch were able to pick up the next 3 bunches holding a good pace and looking like riding for the win.
The fast moving back markers were abvle to pick up most of the field, with only a few kilometers to go.
The 19 minute bunch were determined enough to stay away from this large chasing bunch long enough to pick up the win.
The back markers crossed the line within 30 seconds of the winning bunch.
Results:
1 Ashley Herrewyn Mt Gambier
2 Nick Jehu Colac
3 Erich Gstrien camperdown

The "George Gill" Casterton 40
The 2010 George Gill Casterton 40 was held on Sunday June 6th.
A field of 53 riders started the event with the field being divided into eight bunches by the Handicapper.
The conditions were ideal for the Outmarkers or middle markers to "Get up" with a slight head wind and tail wind home.
The limit Bunch with 5 riders left 25 minutes before the four Scratchmen, David Tozer, Brendon Schultz, Simon Walsh & Luke Aggett.
As the race developed it appeared it was going to be a backmarkers day, the 4 scratchmen picked up Block with ease, then caught the rest of the field with what looked to be relative ease as well, before cemetry hill on the home run Scratch had the task at hand.
Three of the scratchmen, Tozer Schultz and Aggett gained a small gap on the remainder of the field & were able to hold that gap to gain a convincing win.
David Tozer from Pt Fairy was the First & Fastest rider, followed closely by Brendon Schultz Ham. second & Luke Aggett Pt fairy 3rd.
Top 10 placings, 1st D Tozer Pt Fairy, 2nd B Schultz Ham., 3rd L Aggett Pt Fairy, 4th F McCarthy Wrn, 5th S Walsh Wrn. 6th R Evans PTL. 7th S Robinson Ham. 8th P Bosch Ham. 9th M Lane Wrn. 10th C Coomber Wrn. Fastest D Tozer port Fairy.
The top ten in the Banks Thargo South West series has had quite a "Shake Up" after the Casterton 40, While earl from mt Gambier still holds a slight lead, that is all about to change after the long weekend.

How do we get all competitors at one race at one time?????
Any ideas let me know!!!
After 4 South West Series events we have had over 130 participants.
Finish at the soldiers memorial best one yet with over 40 riders in the bunch, nightmare for officials but a whole lot of fun!!
How about a start list of 120 riders at one event??

Soldiers Memorial Anzac day 2010
Mount Gambier hosted the 30th stageing of the Soldiers memorial on Anzac day.
The Mount Gambier & Districts RSL has sponsored this event since its inception.
64 starters lined up for the event, with limit getting a 24 minute start on scratch in what turned out to be a well handicapped event.
Scratch started 2 riders down with 2 late withdrawls, so from the Start Richie Belleville, Chris Eichler, Xavier Gstrien & Timshel Knoll-Miller had a hard task catching a very strong bunch of 6 on block at 1 minute 30seconds, with Mann, Koopman, Noonan,Anderson, Wood, Frankel & Richardson combining exceptionally well chasing down an equally strong 3rd scratch Schilling, Mclaughlin, Chant, Bartlett, woolley, Nolte & Mutch.
Once these 2 bunches combined the entire field was eventually reeled inn about 5km from the finish.
As the catch was made on a slight uphill section road space was a limiting factor, enabling the outmarkers to hold on to this fast moving bunch.
After the turn back onto the finishing straight around 40 riders were jostling for position in a fast moving bunch.
David Chant from Mt Gambier made the initial move coming up to the finishline starting an all out sprint for line honours.
16 year old Darcey Wooley from Pt Fairy outsmarted a far stronger rider in Jade Frankel from Warrnambool to take the win Jade riding from second scratch came in 2nd also taking fastest time.
Tim Koopman Mt G. 3rd, Rob Mann Mt G 4th , John Anderson Portland 5th, Rowdey Bartlett Mt G.6th, Richard Wood Mt G 7th, Lachlan Nolte Portland 8th, David Jones Mt G 9th and Tim Angus Mt gambier rounding out the placings in 10th place.
First female rider Cathy Nunn Mt Gambier.

South West Series Points after race 3
After the first 3 events in the banks thargo South West Series, the leader board has widened out quite a bit.
Darren Earl from Mt Gambier has a 6 point lead from Richard Schilling also a Mt Gambier rider.
The Next Event In the South West Series will be the Soldiers Memorial on Anzac day at Mount Gambier.
As with the Frank long the race is around 40km and the prize pool exceeds $1000.
With 2 riders from Mt Gambier on the top of the leader board and the solders clashing with the Coleraine tour, it would be expected that the lead held by Earl will be widened.

The Maquarie Camperdown Classic
On Saturday 10th April 2010 Camperdown held its first event in the 2010 Banks Thargo South West Series, the Maquarie Camperdown Classic.
64 riders turned out on an overcast day with moderate winds, at the start of the race "ideal conditions"
The handicapper divided the field into 7 bunches and 1 lone limit rider with a 30 minute start on scratch.
The 4 middle bunches were large bunches with numbers between 10 & 16 riders in each.
Scratch with only 4 riders had a hard task chasing 2&1/2 minutes to block with 7 riders who inturn had an equally hard task chasing a 2 minute gap to a bunch of 13 riders.
The course was out to the Cobden loop for 3 laps of an undulating and trying course.
Scratch lost David Tozer (Puncture) early on, making the task of catching block almost impossible.
Block caught 3rd scratch about half way through the race then a bunch with around 20 riders were chasing the largest bunch of 16 (4th scratch) once this catch was made it looked as though the block bunch would take who ever could "hold on" to the finishline.
On the third lap of the race heavy rain and strong crosswind greeted the riders as they rode the fast downhill section, then sharp turn into Cobden.
The 18 minute bunch starting with 10 riders had combined well, only losing 3 riders well into the third lap still had quite a gap to the fast moving "block" bunch.
The 18 minute bunch lost 2 more riders on the uphill section just before the final turn to the home straight into the fast "down hill tail wind" finishline at Camperdown.
At the same time the block bunch was within 500 metres looking to catch.
The outmarkers with Darren Earl,Chris Odonnel, Monica Kelly, Steve Kelly and John Cranwell stayed organised and held out to the line.
Earl taking first to chris odonnel second then Monica Kelly in a close 3rd.
Xavier Gstrien crossed the line 12 seconds after the winners to once again take fastest time riding from block.
Once again a well organised and well attended race at Camperdown, Presentations were held post Race at the Hamden Hotel.
Final placings 1 D Earl Mtg, 2 C Odonnel mtg, 3 M kelly hor, 4 S Kelly hor, 5th & Fastest Xavier Gstrien Camperdown, 6 L Nolte ptl, 7 Cirian Conaught Blrt, 8 J Cranwell mtg, 9 R Boydle cpd, 10 Jason Smith cpd.

Banks Thargo Leader Board
After the first 2 of the Banks Thargo South West series races .
Laurie Paltrgidge from Port Fairy currently holds the leaders jersey as Laurie place highest on both days for his 29 points.
TO SEE LEADER BOARD CLICK ON 1 COMMENTS BELOW THIS POST.
The winners from each race both did not finish the other event relegating them to equal 5th with 25 points.
As the board shows it will take a few more events to break up the leaders, currently there is 29 in the top 10, that will change as we progress into the 15 events.
Unfortunatelly we have only had 2 female competitors at this stage, anne hocking wears the leaders jersey in the females section just by completeing her respective event.
To get the jersey consistency is the key, and as the "Travelling" Starts it will be interesting to see
how things pan out.
Cheers & See you all at the Camperdown Classic on April 10th
**WITH 13 MORE SOUTH WEST SERIES EVENTS THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF EVENTS TO CATCH UP WITH THE CURRENT LEADERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The field was divided into 5 large bunches and a smaller bunch of 3 on limit.
The course Framlingham Forrest then 4 laps of the falls circuit.

Both Bunches were working well and holding good speeds, as were the back markers.
Third Scratch caught the 4th scratch bunch and held the rest of the field off for the win.
Matt Lane (WRN) took line honours closely followed by Richard Schilling (MTG)
Scratch crossed the line soon after with David tozer (PTF) taking fastest time.

41 riders turned out for this event and the field was divided once again into 6 bunches.
The course Wangoom-Warrumyea-Falls-Wurrumyea-Wangoom.
Things looked very similar to theprevious days racing with the exception of the 4th scratch bunch gaining strength with the inclusion of Scot Noonan.
once again the 4th scratch bunch & 3rd scratch bunch looked like the two most likely bunches to get up.
3rd scratch picked up the next bunch about the same time second scartch and 3rd scratch came together, however the outmarkers had held enough time to take the win.
Cris Jehu from colac was the form sprinter in this bunch and took line honours.
