On Saturday August 21st 2010 the Hamilton Cycling Club hosted the Coleraine combine the 13th race in the banks Thargo South West Series.
34 riders nominated & 34 riders started the race in wintry conditions with a gusty Northerly wind and showers.
At the start of the race it looked like a day for the Scratchmen, with a challenging course and strong winds.
5 riders started on limit with a 14-minute start on scratch, this bunch as with all other bunches broke up on the climb on the outward leg of the race.
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.
1st Stephen Jones MTG, 2nd Mike Lawson MTG, 3rd Stuart McKinley MTG, 4th Adam Ballentyne HAM, 5th Laurie Peake MTG, 6th Darcy Woolley PTF, 7th Matt Caldersmith MTG, 8th Richard Schilling MTG, 9th David Jones MTG, 10th Monica Kelly HOR.
