Road Race Report / Bcc Teams Time Trial – 14km - 6th December 2020

« on: December 06, 2020, 09:16:17 PM »

Bcc Teams Time Trial – 6th December 2020
14km Clubhouse - Ryans Road - Finish Perthville.

One of the cycling disciplines that was difficult to organise in 2020 due to the shortened club cycling program was Team Time Trailing - with Bathurst Cycling unable to send any teams to the state championships in 2020. The club has a great record in the TTT State Premierships with a number of recent wins at the titles, in fact BathurstCC is often the top Country Club in the state rankings.
   
With the year quickly drawing to a close, Road Cycling Organiser Glen Partridge scheduled a TTT on the weekend and although the event clashed with a number of other cycling promotions there was some excellent racing at the event.

The overall winning team of Luke Tuckwell and Mark Windsor averaged around 45km per hour in the wind on the 14km course to set the overall fastest time.
The team of Ray Thorn, Dan Googe & Nic Barrett had a great battle with the Tony Shaw David Reece Team in B grade. While Graham Stait Rob Stephen and Kalinda Robinson won C Grade.
D Grade was won by Marian Renshaw Rosemary Hastings and Peter Hickey, while the E Grade was taken out by Joanne Renshaw Robyn Partridge.

Road Race Report / 2020 Rockley Cup

« on: November 27, 2020, 09:30:11 PM »

2020 Rockley Cup:
The Feature Handicap event of the Bathurst Cycling Club Calendar “The Rockley Cup” will be held this weekend (29/11/20).
Bathurst Cycling Historian Heather McFarlane referred to the Rockley Race as one of the oldest road races in NSW, referring to the trophy race organised before World War 1 in 1912. However it is worth noting that the Bathurst Cycling club prior to WW1 was organising events to Rockley even earlier than this race, with evidence of the club riding out to Shanahan’s Pub and return in 1906.
The 1912 event created some hype, as cycling clubs existed at both Bathurst and Rockley.. it might surprize todays cyclists that the 1912 event was hampered by Council Permissions, with the event eventually plan for Rockley to Perthville and Return altered further to Mt Everndon and return. The winner of the inaugural 1912 event was Rockley cyclist W.H. Atkins riding off 2mins, he was part of a famous cycling family from Rockley, his brother Jack Atkins one Australia best riders in the WW1 period.
The modern version of the race commenced in 1969 when the NSW League of Wheelman promoted a Championship at Bathurst, where a Senior Race to Rockley and back was held in conjunction with a number of Junior State championships in a giant day of cycling for the Bathurst. 
The 1969 Rockley Return was won by Bathurst Champion Geoff Rice (4min) defeating Cowra Cyclist Robert Fisher (8min) and well performed Nowra rider John McLean (6mins) third.
Geoff Rice returned last year as a guest of the club for the 50year anniversary of the Rockley Cup. Geoff invited to start the 2019 Rockley Race which was won by Orange Champion Simon Hickey, with the long-time Queen of the Rockley race Jodie Martin the top female and husband Dennis the top placed Bathurst Rider.

Road Race Report / 2020 Gallagher All Women Trophy Race

« on: November 22, 2020, 03:50:41 PM »

2020 Gallagher All Women Trophy Race
The Toireasa Gallagher All Women Trophy Race is now in its 13 year and has established itself as one of the special events on the Bathurst club Calendar.
First held in 2008 the Gallagher Womens Handicap boosts an impressive list winners and has its origins with a number of National Level Events hosted by the Bathurst club in the early 2000s.

Gallagher first sponsored this event after returning from the Beijing Paralympic Games, when wanting to give back to the cycling club that had supported her over the many years of her cycling career. That the time Gallagher explained to the media that she sponsored the women’s only event to encourage local women cyclist to race more regularly, while also trying to entice recreational women cyclists to come and join the Bathurst Cycling Club.

This year’s event attracted an impressive field of local female cyclists including two former winners Kirsten Howard who won in 2012 & 2017 and the defending champ from last year Fran Walker. The big attraction in 2020 is world champion para cyclist Emilie Miller inclusion in the event.
 
Under the handicap format Emilie will be the first rider to start and will focus on riding a high average speed which she hopes will set a time that can take the Trophy in 2020. However her main focus in the event will be to work on her pre-race warm up and preparation ahead of her Performance Trails in December.

Road Race Report / 2020 Remember Them Handicap

« on: November 08, 2020, 07:01:24 PM »

2020 Remember Them Trophy
The Bathurst Cycling Club held its annual “Remember Them” trophy race on the weekend ahead of Remembrance Day on Wednesday (11th Nov 2020). The event is run in memory of 5 former Bathurst Cycling Club members that lost their lives in World War 2, with the names of Robert Dale, Jack Sandry, Kenneth Adlem, Ron Harper and Ivor Ezzy acknowledged on the trophy.

The race uses a Handicap format which allows riders of all abilities a chance of winning the trophy, with the inaugural race in 1946 attracting a record field for the time. The 1946 event won by Bathurst cycling club life member and Advocate reporter Jack McKay defeating Hadson and Nancarrow.

Traditionally the race has been dominated by the frontmarkers keen to get their hands on the trophy, so the 2020 field started fast. It was Rosemary Hastings that led the event early from Charlotte Lovett and then Aleks Krajcer and Jette McKellar working hard to catch the leaders. But 2014 winner David McKellar was part of the fast moving 12minite bunch (which also included Peter Wilson Nev Krahe & Ebony Robinson) which looked a major threat to the leaders at the halfway point.

However in the second half of the race the wind caused havoc with the leaders and the strong backmarker groups rode through the field. Scratchmarker Jeremy Ryan had joined the Jack Cannon Jack Reen and Mark Windsor group and they were quickly riding through the field.

However at the final turn Dave McKellar still lead the race and was putting in a super performance to hold off the chasing bunch of Jeremy Ryan, Mark Windsor, Jack Cannon, Daniel Googe, Nic Barrett, Tony Shaw and Steve Bennett.

However things then took a dramatic change in the head wind, with Jeremy Ryan and Mark Windsor breaking clear, catching and passing McKellar, and then Ryan defeating Windsor in the dash to the line. The unlucky Dave McKellar hung on for third in front of Jack Cannon and Daniel Googe. Tony Shaw again raced well defeating Nic Barrett and Phillip Stapleton for 6th place while Peter Wilson and Steve Bennett rounded out the top 10 in the 2020 Remember Them Race in front of Aleks Krajcer, Nev Krahe, Robert Stephen and Jette McKellar who was top placed female infront of Rosemary Hastings and Ebony Robinson.

Jeremy Ryan (Cowra) recorded fastest time in the event from Mark Windsor, stopping the clock 58min 36sec for the 40km Trophy race. While Robyn Partridge defeated Tracey Robinson in the support enticer race held on the day.

2020 Bathurst Cycling Club Time Trial Championships - 1st Nov 2020
Times were expected to be slow in the wind for the 2020 Bathurst Cycling Club Time Trial Championships, however a strong field set some impressive times in the slow conditions.

Well performed rider Ray Thorn and Mark Simons rounding out the top 5 in B Grade ahead of Josiah Grierson Steve Jackson and David Hynes.

Tim Roebuck took almost 2 minutes off his previous best to defeat pre-race favourite Toireasa Gallagher in C Grade with Mick Foran and Damien Bennett dead heating for 3rd. Graham Stait rounding out the top5.

Gary Theiss and Rosemary Hastings had a great battle for the D Grade title with Gary taking the Gold by 25second with David Hyland third in front of Peter Hickey.
