Race 3 "Doug Pettingill" Hamilton to Port fairy
In warm blustery conditions the 31st Doug Pettingill road race was held. There were 56 senior riders and 25 junior riders. The day started with 30km northerlies which were perfect tail wind conditions. As the day progressed and the riders got close to the finish the wind changed to North Easterlies which made for side winds. This made the race more difficult and strung out some of the bunches.
The front markers were able to hold off the middle and back markers.
1st Cam Hart, 2nd Niel Duncan, 3rd Aaron Bingham, 4th Stuart Robinson, 5th Simon Povey, 6th Kate Winnen, 7th Shannon Malseed, 8th Spek, 9th Michael Bently, 10th Daniel Lehman.
Fastest Time went to kieron Schnieder. Kieron was riding on block so that second scratch rode exceptionally well on the day.
The points table is starting to take shape now for the 2012 Banks Thargo South West Series, three scratchmen hold the top three positions followed by several regular feature riders that are regular competitors in this series of road races.
The Next event in the South West series is the Soldiers Memorial hosted by the Mount Gambier Club and the Mount gambier R.S.L.

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.

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.

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
1st Michael Krybolder Camperdown
2nd Kate Winnen Port Fairy
3rd Anne Hocking Warrnmbool
4th Shannon Malseed Hamilton
5th Darcey Wooley Port Fairy
6th Luke Aggett Port Fairy
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.

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.
