ENTERING THE TOUR --
The AusCycling Esports Tour from Friday, 29 October to Sunday, 31 October will be the first AusCycling-sanctioned multi-stage tour on Zwift.
Western NSW interclub Challenge
Stage 1 in the Tour (6:30pm, Friday 29th October) – Will also double as the 2021 Western NSW interclub ITT Esport Challenge.
This is an Individual Time Trial, it is unclear if it will be a mass start in the starting pen, or individual starts with something like 15sec gap on a conveyor belt setup, (or event double conveyor start where you start in pairs).
Really it doesn’t matter, as generally in zwift Time Trial means there is no assistance sitting behind someone. In other words the competitors around you are of little consequence.. You are just riding as hard as you can for 8kms.
Also unclear at this point whether you will be automatically setup on a zwift TT rig.. But I expect so.
Also worth noting on the Bologna Time Trial Lap the final climb is where the most time is won or lost.

Road Race Report / Re: Out of Lockdown Bcc Isuzu 2Roads Handicap
« on: October 24, 2021, 08:20:39 PM »
Bathurst Isuzu Ute 2Roads Handicap - 24th Oct 2021
It may have been a normal old Bathurst Weekend Club Race, but it was a big deal due to it being the first event after the covid19 Lockdown.
With all racing shut down on 14th August 2021, a quality field assembled for the return of community sport under strict Covid safe restrictions.
The Handicap conditions allowed riders of all levels to compete together, back markers Will Hodges and Luke Tuckwell giving 16minites start away to the race’s front markers.

RACE REPORT-
The two front groups came together early in the race resulting in Angela Falzarano, Claire Scott, Lara Allen, and Cathy Adams holding a good lead over the 12minute group of Nev Krahe, Michael Robinson, Scott Allen, Gary Hamer and Glen Partridge who was returning to racing after a long break due to injury.
Behind them the middle markers where all coming together; the 8:30min bunch (Toireasa Gallagher, Ebony Robinson, Kevin Bell, Brian Draper,
Peter Wilson, Lachlan Crump) where joined by the 6min bunch (Rob Stephen, Rod Esdaile, Charlotte Lovett, Phil Stapleton, Scott James, Cameron Crump and Mick Foran).
But behind them the very fast 3:30min group (Dennis Martin, Xavier Bland, Daniel Googe, David Reece, Drew Tuckwell, Ella Falzarano, Ray Thorn, Tony Barlow and strong Orange rider Lachlan Burrows) was closing the gap and looking likely winners at the mid-way point.
At the back of the field the two backmarker group where in their own private battle with the Block Bunch (2min) Mark Windsor, Jack Cannon, Nic Barrett, Cadel Lovett, Stuart Renshaw and Oscar Hansen trying to hold off the very speedie Scratchmarkers with local champs Will Hodges and Luke Tuckwell starting very fast in an attempt to catch the Block Bunch as soon as possible.
At the front of the race Claire Scott attacked and extended her lead in the second half of the race.
Meanwhile former Bathurst Champion Dennis Martin’s 3:30 bunch caught the middle markers to form a big chase bunch which looked to be the main threat to Claire Scott’s victory prospects.
However with the handicapper gauging things almost perfect the block bunch (2min bunch) suddenly appeared and burst to the lead inside the finial couple of kilometres. But there was still plenty of fight in the 3:30min group with Lachlan Burrows attacking in the final Kilometre and building a potential winning gap. Sensing the danger it was Ella Falzarano that started the chase with ten riders reforming at the front of the race.
With perfect timing Will Hodges and Luke Tuckwell suddenly joined the group, Hodges jumping first and then Tuckwell sprinting home to take and impressive and dramatic win..
Top Orange junior Xavier Bland and local champ Will Hodges made up the podium, with Ray Thorn and Cadel Lovett rounding out the top 5. Oscar Hansen continues to improve in 6th place ahead of Dennis Martin, Jack Cannon, Stuart Renshaw and Tony Barlow who showed his class and race awareness to finish in the top 10. Ella Falzarano also impressed finishing the First Female in 11th overall.

BATHURST CYCLING CLUB CONFIRMS ITSELF AS A FORCE IN ESPORTS CYCLING
Bathurst Cycling Club has again proved itself to be one of the top clubs on the National Esports Cycling Scene finishing in the top 5 of the recent AusCycling National Club Esports Cycling Series which consisted of more than 50 of Australia’s top cycling clubs. That success came after the Bathurst club made the podium in the inaugural National Club Esport Series where they finished 3rd behind the large Waratah Masters and eRandwick Cycling Club.

ACT Cycling Clubs, Vikings and Canberra dominated the latest National Club Series finishing first and second, however the Bathurst, Waratah and Randwick rivalry continued with a tense battle for 3rd place. Large Sydney club eRandwick stormed home to take the final podium position with Bathurst finishing 4th infront series 1 winners Waratah Masters. Behind the big 5 clubs of Australian ESports Cycling in was the Victorian Clubs of Brunswick and Hawthorn who claimed 6th and 7th in the National rankings.

Manager of the Bathurst Esports Team, Mark Windsor explained the secret to their success was having a fun and social side to their approach and therefore attracting a wide range of riders to our local team. Our goal is to get as many team members as possible to the finish line in all of the categories contested in the Club Series. We had 21 Bathurst Club riders finishing the Champs Elysees course in the final round of the series, while that wasn’t a record for the Bathurst club it was an impressive display and set up the club for their continued success in the series. Worth noting the Central West of NSW was prominent in the National Club ranking with Dubbo, Mudgee and Orange all finishing in the top 50 ESports Clubs, following on from the NSW Western Division holding the first CNSW divisional Esports Championships earlier this year.

Finishers in the final round of the recent Series 2 competition included –
Kirsten Howard, Jenn Arnold, Angela Falzarano, Alex Banner, Toireasa Gallagher, Joanne Renshaw, Mark Windsor, Cameron Arnold Matt Cowley, Jack Cannon, Stephen Jackson, Ryan ODonnell, Stuart Renshaw, Steve Bennett, Ray Thorn, Peter Wilson, Ken Addison, Gary Hamer, Glen Carter, Gary Baker, Steve Cox

The AusCycling National Club Esports Cycling Series is divided into A B C and D grades in both male and female categories, with big series point award to the top 30 placings in all 8 grades. Bathurst scored good points in almost all grades contested in the final round particularly D grade where Glen Carter and Toireasa Gallagher where top performers, Glen actually winning the D Grade male event and Toireasa top 5 in the Female D Grade race. Both Carter and Gallagher have a long history in Bathurst cycling and although new to the Virtual On-Line Racing Environment, they are obviously picking up the skills quickly.
   
Carter was backed up in D grade by Gary Baker and Steve Cox who have been consistent performers for Bathurst throughout the entire series and again finished in the series points. Baker who is the current Western Division Esports Cycling Champion finished top 10 while Cox finished 17th. Also in the points with Gallagher in Women’s D Grade was Joanne Renshaw who was having her first start with the Bathurst Esport team and impressed finishing 18th

Alex Banner one of Bathurst best performers in Series 2 and again finished in the points in C Grade, crossing the finish line in 17th place. While in the male C grade event, Steve Bennett put in his best ride of the series to finish 13th followed in by Ray Thorn also in the top 20 – Nice work also by strong riders Peter Wilson Gary Hamer plus great to see Ken Addison riding in C grade

Points proved very hard to get in men’s B grades – but Cameron Arnold maybe rode his best race of series, recording an impressive 32m 46s which placed him just outside the top 30. Top effort also Matt Cowley, Jack Cannon, Stephen Jackson, Ryan ODonnell and new boy Stuart Renshaw for good times in the very tough B grade men’s race. The local female team impressed in A Grade with Kirsten Howard (6th), Jenn Arnold (7th) and Angela Falzarano (9th) all finishing in the top 10; while in the Men’s A Grade Mark Windsor again finished in the points in 11th place which should see him hold his position in the top 5 overall in the series in A Grade
