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

The outmarkers had held most of their 10 minute advantage at the start of the fist lap of the falls circuit, they only lost a few more minutes in the next three laps. Most of the other bunches had trouble catching their next bunch, the only two bunches coming together being the fouth & fith scratch bunches.

The Greame Woodrup Memorial.
Sunday the 13th of june Port Fairy Cycling club hosted the Greame Woodrup memorial .
55 riders started with ideal conditions for a fast race, once again very slight wind.
After a few adjustments to the marks limit headed off with a 35 minute start on scratch and 10 minute start on second limit.
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
4 Spek Mt Gambier
5 Mick Lowther Pt fairy
6 Daryl edwards Pt fairy
7 John Jenkins Pt fairy
8 Kate Winnen Pt fairy

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.
