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
