Coleraine And Gorae west
The Coleraine Combine and the Gorae west classic have both been held.
Both events saw the front and middle markers, stay away moving a few regulars up the South West series points table.
Darcey Wooley still holds out with a 20 point advantage over his nearest rivals in Stuart Robinson and Dale Cummings both on 140 points followed closely by Glen Schouller on 137 points then Spek on 136.
So in the last 2 events theoretically Darcy Woolley could be toppled from the top, it would take some bad luck on Darcey's part such as a dnf but stranger things have happened.
I am sure David Herrewyn will be pleased to see himself in the top ten.
Stacey Hocking has toppled Kate Winnen as the female leader in the series.
The last 2 events could see quite a few changes in the top ten.

Max McKenzie Memorial
2011 Max McKenzie Memorial
On July 23rd 2011 the Max McKenzie Memorial was hosted by the Mount Gambier Cycling and Triathlon club.
On a cold and overcast day with light winds 45 riders faced the starter. Two limit riders Rod Lawson and Shannon Malseed getting a 28.5 minute start on scratch.
The handicapper divided the field into eight bunches, Scratch, 3 minutes, 5.5 minutes, 7.5 minutes, 9 minutes, 13 minutes, 15.5 minutes and 28.5 minutes.
Shannon Malseed from Portland had a strong ride leaving Rod Lawson and trying to solo to the finish line for a win. At 10km from the finish this looked to be a possibility however the 7.5 minute bunch had been riding strongly, strongly enough to pick up the next three bunches, then pick up Shannon Malseed about 4km from the finish.
With riders like Mark Wight, Mel & Stu McKinley, Clint Lancaster, Steven Mutch & Dale Cummins forcing the pace scratch was not able to bridge the gap.
Daryl Patzel from Mt Gambier went quite early in a hotly contested sprint but was able to hold on for what seemed an eternity to win the Race closely followed by Andrew Lindsay from Portland the Bruce McLaughlin from Mount Gambier came in for a well earn’t 3rd place.
Not long after the Scratch bunch crossed the line, Darcy Woolley able to just hold out Luke Aggett by a ¼ of a wheel for fastest time. Darcy’s ride time for the 58 km race 1.26.50
Results,
1 D Patzel MTG, 2 A Lindsay PTL, 3 B McLaughlin MTG, 4 Mark Hermon HAM, 5 D Bryant MTG, 6 Dale Cummins PTL , 7 Chris Kennett HAM, 8 Steven Mutch MTG, 9 Clint Lancaster PTL, 10 Mel McKinley MTG (First female)
Time, D Woolley PTF.
Darcy Woolley still holds the SWS leaders Jersey, mat lane is in second place and the Evergreen Stuart Robinson is as usual closing the gap and sitting now in third position with a few more events to go.

Beeac Progress association handicap
Warrnambool rider James Okeefe broke through for one of the biggest wins of his career taking out the Colac Cycling Club's Beeac Progress Association handicap which was part of the Banks Thargo South West Cycling Series.
Colac Riders were well up amongst the finishers with Shannon bell third, newcomer Warwick Bott Fith and Larry Noccera 8th and Heather Hamling 9th.
The Scratch bunch was hampered by a couple of scratchings and some internal squabbling that cruelled their chances.
O'keefe won a bunch sprint at the end of the 65 kilometre race just beating home the evergreen Stuart Robinson from Hamilton with Colac's bell close up third.

George Gill Casterton 40
On Sunday the fith of June 2011 44 riders turned out for the Casterton 40.
The riders faced cold wintery conditions with a strong north westerly wind, making it a tough ride back from Digby.
Also these conditions were favourable for the stronger riders along with the Challenging course.
That is the way the race tirned out.
Scratch had the whole field rounded upo before the cemetry hill on the return from digby.
Quite a few riders were able to hold on for the run home but the toop positions were predominatelly scratch riders.
Glen Schouller picked up first and fastest, Matt Lane from second scartch was able to outsprint Darcey Woolley for second place and keep hold of the series lead.

The riders faced cold wintery conditions with a strong north westerly wind, making it a tough ride back from Digby.
Also these conditions were favourable for the stronger riders along with the Challenging course.
That is the way the race tirned out.
Scratch had the whole field rounded upo before the cemetry hill on the return from digby.
Quite a few riders were able to hold on for the run home but the toop positions were predominatelly scratch riders.
Glen Schouller picked up first and fastest, Matt Lane from second scartch was able to outsprint Darcey Woolley for second place and keep hold of the series lead.

61st Frank Long
On Saturday May the 7th the 61st Frank Long was held at Hamilton on the "new Port Fairy road course"
Over 60 riders started the event with the handicapper Stephen Lennigan Giving Limit a 16 minute start on Scratch.
The Field was divided into 9 bunches by the handicapper, all of the bunches rode well, only 2 riders did not finish the event.
Limit rode well enough to stay away from second limit till the half way mark, at this stage Scratch had already picked up second scratch forming bunch of 14 riders.
The middle markers mostly stayed apart until the last 10 km of the event where the 7 minute bunch caught the 9 & a half minute bunch and the 11 & a half minute bunch.
this bunch of middlemarkers had the out markers well and truly in their sights and the back markers now with just under 30 riders in their bunch ahd the middle markers within reach as well.
I what turned out to an exciting finish the 4 remaining outmarkers were able to hold off the rest of the field by just on 20 seconds to take line honours.
Michael Krybolder taking first Place followed by a hard working Kate Winnen in Second place. 17 year old darcey Woolley once again showed his strength by taking fastest time and coming over the line in 5th place as well indicating how well the event was handicapped.
Coming up to the finish line two motor vehicles were blocked between the two large chasing bunches holding back the scratch bunch considerably.
Final placings

7th Mark Winnen Port Fairy
8th Ash Hawker Horsham
9th Matt Lane Warrnambool
10th Dylan Lindsay Portland
The Next event the Casterton 40, one of the hardest envents in the South West series will perhaps favour the scratchmen so it will be interesting to see if they can consolidate their positions on the top of the Points table or iff Matt Lane from warrnambool can hold them off to keep his position on the top of the table.
Kate Winnem from Port Fairy has a good hold on the Womans leaders position and also is within reach out the top place outright as well, being an "outmarker" it will be interesting to see how things shape up after the casterton 40 and through out the rest ofthe South West Series.

Hamilton to Port Fairy
On Saturday the 30th of april 52 riders turned out for the Hamilton to Port Fairy hosted by the Port Fairy Cycling Club.
The Handicapper divided the field into 5 large bunches with two smaller bunches as outmarkers.
Conditions were showery with a slight tail wind.
The 3rd scratch bunch rode well enough early to pick up 4th scratch at the half way mark, this large bunch containing over 20 riders inevitably picked up the outmarkers and also held off the scratch and second scratch bunches.
Last years winner Paul Nolte took the hotly contested sprint with a very large bunch hitting the finishline at the same time. Making a hard task for the finish judges.

On Anzac day 2011 under near perfect conditions 52 riders turned out for the Soldiers Memorial.

Dylan Linsay from Portland won the race in a good sprint finish with Dale Cummins coming second and Sean Angus from Mount Gambier coming 3rd.
A highlight of the race was 17 year old Darcey Wooley last years winner of the event picking up fastest time with a ride time of 56 minutes and 45 seconds in what must be a close to course record.

The Camperdown Classic
In Rainy but reduced wind conditions, the 4th annual Camperdown classic was run.
a total of 56 riders entered the event but 6 scratchings were recieved on raceday and a final field of 50 fronted the starter.
The handicappers had placed the field into 6 bunchesplus a lone limit rider. After the first 22 kms of the 63 km race the scratch bunch had made up just45 seconds on their 4 minute chase to second scratch. This second scratch bunch was flying and had made up 3mins on 3rd scratch and had them within thier grasp. On the completion of lap 2, there was an intermediate sprint and Michael Krybolder from the 17 minute bunch claimed that trophy.
Not long after that the3 bunches behind him, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th scratch bunches had combined and were motoring along for the overall win. On their wat Matt Lane took out the King of the Mountain "Preem" on Cobdens Cemetry Hill.
The race now was in 2 main bunches, with the large bunch swallowing up th outmarkers & the 8 man scratch bunch now down to 7riders because of their upped pace as they made their charge.. With the 3 laps of the 17kms circuit behind themthe last 2 climbs over Coxes & Menzies hills was all that was between them & the finishline. But it was these 2 hills that split the large leading bunchup, as some riders applied the pressure and caused many others to tail off.On the decent into Camperdown 3 riders were clear of approximately 7 others with the rest scattered into smaler bunches and singles. At the line it was youmg Lauchlin Nolte from Portland that took the win from the very experienced older rider Mark Winnen from Port Fairy With local Camperdown club president Shane West close behind in 3rd place.
The young rider 17 year old Darcey Wooley out classed district strongman Brendon Schultz (now Basedin Bendigo)by taking fastest time by just half a wheel on the line.
Final placings.

2011 Banks Thargo South West Series begins at warrnambool
A very successful 2 day race weekend was held at Warnambool on the 5th & 6th of March 2011.
Both days had good numbers competeing and the conditions were ideal for good racing.
Day 1 saturday march 5th the Glenn Cook, had 57 riders start the event, the Fourth scratch bunch were the best bunch on the day. they rode well enough to have limit just before the start of the 4th lap of the falls circuit, the 4th scratch picked up the top 3 placings with Geoff Verhoef taking line honours then in 2nd Chriss Carr 3rd Brian Smith.
Luke Aggett from Port Fairy picked up fastest time.
Day 2 Sunday 6th March the Greg Gleeson.
Once again held under ideal conditions, 56 riders started the race.
the Greg Gleeson was a day for the scratch men, as with the previous day scratch rode well but today they were able to pick up all of the field not too far out from the finish.
Luke Aggett the "Form" rider early in the season picked up first and fastest having a very successful weekend, 2nd Glenn Scouller 3rd Matt Lane
The weekend was a well organised and equally well attended weekend of racing.
Congratulations to the Warrnambool Cycling Club and all of the competitors for making making it such a good weekend.
Both events had a high rate of D.N.F's perhaps indication an early season lack of form :-)
