Geelong & Surf Coast Cycling Club - Supervets

 Geelong & Surf Coast Cycling Club - Supervets
 
On Wednesday September 30, 21 Supervets raced over the three lap circuit at Paraparap under near to ideal conditions.  The weather was fine and cool with a slight south-west wind.  Kent Fuller and Ken Mansfield had a 21 minute gap to scratch and worked together to maintain a decent gap for two laps.  However, the three, five and nine minute chasers were all working with a common interest to unite and maintain a gap to the back-markers.  This was achieved in part for a short time and the pace saw the demise of several riders.  This week scratch worked well as a bunch and together with Laurie Fitzsimons and Gordon Spargo worked their way through the field up misery lane.  David Pike conserved his energy until the last and ran out a clear winner on the day including the achievement of fastest time.  Once again we should highlight some very strong rides from Roger Cronk, Laurie Fitzsimons and a solid performance from Tony Spark, Barry Primmer and Ray Hodgson.  They fought hard at the finish and showed the necessary form to finish in the top eight. 
 
Results:  1.  D Pike,  2.  L Fitzsimons,  3.  G Spargo,  4.  T Spark,  5.  R Cronk,  6.  B Primmer,  7.  D Sonogan,  8.  R Hodgson.
 
Fastest time:  D Pike - 1.03.52.
 
Next week's race will be a time trial over two laps of the Paraparap circuit.  Entries by 9.30 please.
 
Seniors Week - On October 14 from 9.30 am the Supervets will conduct a variety of cycling events at the Barwon Valley Cycling venue.  It will include a barbeque and an opportunity to meet like-minded cyclists.  It will also be a chance to enjoy the company of other over light refreshments and a ride on the track.l
