Swiss Mountain Slog

25/2/2017

0 Comments

 
Windy is an understatement when describing the conditions for today's 3rd round of the Lake Health Group Summer Series. The 69km Swiss Mountain Handicap, sponsored by Shaw's Cycling Centre, took place in tough, blustery conditions on a circuit that allows no passengers. With smaller time gaps than last week, the scratch bunch were favoured to win however, the limit bunch was full of quality riders so if they were to ride smoothly together there was a chance they could stay away.
​In the end though, the challenging course coupled with the horrendous wind took it's toll on the front markers and soon enough the 5 in scratch swept through the field collecting some helpful comrades along the way. The majority of the field was together with 5kms to go as riders looked at each other to see who would be game enough to attack and break things a part in the cross head wind to the line. Most efforts were to no avail until reining Club Champion Liam White dashed for the line about 300 meters out. Dan Braunsteins and Jez McInnes had a good fight for 2nd place and Tim Canny, Sam Smith and Kieran Paton rolled in for 4th, 5th & 6th respectively.
A huge thank you to our wonderful marshals that had their work cut out with literally tonnes of gravel on some of the corners to sweep away. Not one rider came down which is truly remarkable. Thank you to the Swiss Mountain pub for opening up early for us and providing us with much-needed fuel after the race. Thanks again to Sam Smith for chief marshalling for us and thank you to Kieran Paton and Shane Nankervis for setting the course up.
Results:
1st & Fastest Time - Liam White
2nd - Dan Braunsteins
3rd - Jeremy McInnes
4th - Tim Canny
5th - Sam Smith
6th - Kieran Paton
First Female - Erin Kineally

Addington Heights Delight

Firstly, thanks Pete Canny for designing a cracker of a course, particularly for a handicap. And what a difficult one it was to handicap. Thank you to the Chinese Dragon Boat marshals who did a sensational job directing riders, sweeping corners and ensuring our safety.
​As 33 riders meandered around the Learmonth Yacht Club (Eureka Veterans CC clubhouse) this morning it was hard to see which bunch would produce the winner. With small time gaps, there was every chance that everything could come together towards the end. However, if a bunch could work well together and ride a good tempo in the challenging wind they would have a good chance of taking the glory. The 3rd scratch bunch of Mirabella, Birch, Lee, Humphrey, Locandro, Hayes and Bucknall did exactly that. So much so that scratch and 2nd scratch barely saw any of them until after the finish line. The top 6 placings were riders from 3 different bunches which made for exciting spectating.
​It was a fantastic race, on a fantastic course in good conditions for racing. Well done to everyone and thank you to our sponsors that help make it happen. Today's race sponsor was Ballarat Grammar School as part of the Lake Health Group summer road racing series with Sovereign Park Motor Inn sponsoring the lead car each week. See you next week at the Swiss Mountain Pub for another handicap this time sponsored by Shaws Cycling Centre.

Lake Health Group Summer Road Series Round 1

11/2/2017

0 Comments

 
A fantastic turn out of 47 riders took part in the first round of the Lake Health Group Summer Road Series today kindly sponsored by FIKA Coffee Brewers. Unfortunately, A grade didn't complete the race due to a crash just before the wall but thankfully no-one was reported to be seriously injured. The B Grade race saw Sam Smith in multiple breakaways before breaking away himself to take the win on the same course he won at last year. The field of 14 C grade riders was down to 7 by the time they hit the wall. On one of his favourite courses, Matt Dickinson powered away on the final climb and held on for victory. In D grade, Steve Barrile took the honours over Nina Kerr and Grace Maine. Thank you to Jeremy Humber and Pete Canny for setting up and thanks to Sam Smith and the Chinese Dragon Boat crew for marshalling.

1st. Sam Smith

Ellis & Brien take honours in first Friday night crits of 2017

3/2/2017

0 Comments

 
Superb conditions greeted riders for the first Friday night crits of the year. The pace was on early in the combined A and B grade with average speeds sitting mostly above 42kms per hour. One by one riders dropped off leaving 4 riders to fight out the final laps. With about 400m to go Simon Ellis took off and the reaction from fellow riders was too slow and too late. An impressive Ellis came through with a comfortable and well-deserved win.
​In C Grade, Patrick Cashin spent quite a bit of time in a solo break away but was unable to hold off a strong chasing group of riders. In the end, it came down to a sprint for the line and it was Stu Brien that was too strong in a well-timed race to the line. The three D Grade riders had to step up to the C Grade race and they didn't disappoint. All raced very competitively with Jeremy Humber showing that he is ready to move up a grade.
​Thank you to Josh Cannon and Jay Bourke for marshalling and Pete Canny for setting up and marshalling. See you next Wednesday before our road race series kicks off on Saturday 11th February.

A & B Grade Combined:
1. Simon Ellis

One of the best crit nights this summer!

It was exciting racing and great numbers in all four grades and the juniors tonight. There were attacks left, right and centre, however, it was difficult for any breaks to stay away. Following the races some people mentioned that it was the best quality racing they had seen all summer. The depth and quality of cycling was great to see!
​Thank you to Pete Canny for setting up, packing up and corner marshalling, Miranda Griffiths for corner marshalling and Gerard White and Matt Bowman for chief marshalling.
​We have another night of crits this Friday at the same time with juniors racing from 5:45pm and seniors at 6:15pm. See you all then!
