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. The full points table is viewable by clicking on comments below.

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.
