Three times to Blackgate Road and return. 38km (race report & photos kindly provided by Sir Marcus Coppock of Paraparap (SV MoC))On an overcast Geelong Cup Wednesday morning twenty-one riders arose from their slumber to join the nine marshals at the home of Supervet cycling to compete over 39 kilometres. The course was the three peat of Blackgate Road from the clubrooms to finish in Grassdale Road just east of the start. The track was graded as firm but watch the potholes. At the completion of the commissaire, Dave Phillips', final instructions the riders commenced they quest to reach the checked flag first. The limit riders of Phil Royce and Lew Targett where first away from the barriers, followed 5 minutes later by Terry Collie and Bob Osburn. On eleven minutes, the pairing of Tina Stenos and Alan Green jumped away nicely. The punters had the nine-minute bunch of Barry Campbell, Richard Kelly, Bill Shewan and Murray Rankin as the favorites. Paul Bird, Dave O'Dwyer and Ian Johnson on 6 minutes were away next. The quartet of Garry Day, Glenn Barnes, Eugene Cuzlij and Tony Peach (back riding after being bucked off a ladder) had the four minute mark and with two minutes behind was the trio of David Spence, Peter Wynne and Chris Fenech who galloped away as the barrier tape was withdrawn The prestigious scratch mark was given to Michael Hay; who had to make up a handicap of twenty minutes if his number would be on top of the placings. Well as it turned out, Michael Hay rode through the field to greet the finishing stewards first. All clear was given by the commissaire. The margins were fifty lengths to second, Peter Wynne, and a further thirty lengths to David Spence for third. The nine minute bunch who were Favorites will be better for the run.

The feeling of anticipation was fever pitch with riders eager to commence the task of keeping up with the faster riders. Brian Long, the starter, wished the riders a safe ride and at 10am sharp they moved away from the starting grid and made their up to behind the lead car in Hendy Main Road for three laps of the award-winning course. The race was under control for approximately a kilometer and when it was safe the flag was withdrawn and the adventure was under way.Michael Hay, the club scratchman, was away early with a catch me if you can outlook.

A further few minutes behind was Harold Bentley, Terry Collie, Bob Osburn, Murray Riggs Phillip Royce and Johnny Parrello in the follow vehicle. Both Murray and Phillip where unable to complete the course. As lap two unfolded Michael was into time trial mode and was riding smoothly.

Race Report GSCC Super Vets 7th October, 2026Three times to Blackgate Road and return. 38km (race report kindly provided by Phil Royce). Photos & some additional words kindly provided by Sir Marcus Coppock of Paraparap (SV MoC))The formalities started at 9.55am with Commissaire Shaun's brief to riders. Then into Timekeeper Brian Long’s hands.Two great machines, a Bentley (model: Harold) and a Rolls-Royce (model: Phil) were first away at 10.00 sharp, with Harold chaffing at the bit to get away and the pace was on from the get go up the hill. The groups behind had to wait 6, 10, 12, 15, 18 and 22 minutes respectively. Not for me to worry about, I just had to pedal with Harold. And I drew breath as we rode into Willowite. We continued to swap the front position, and the odd non-bike story, as we rode a good pace down to the first turnaround point - more drawing of breath here. Riding back up the hill I asked myself 'Where were the other racers - how far do riders go in 6, 10, 12, etc minutes?' And then they appeared – pairs with a couple of trios and looking comfortable. It wasn't until we turned into Willowite that the scratch rider, Neil Maurer appeared - so we know where the other 13 goers are.Around the start turnaround point gently Bentley and back up the hill with the legs still feeling strong. The 6minute team of Lew and Terry had split with Terry seemingly focused on achieving a Triple. Anyway, the sunshine bought me back to reality and on I pedalled, watching the Bentley’s high cadence and waiting for the elbow flick. Not long after the 2nd Blackgate turnaround the groups appeared again, this time Terry was with the 10 minute group of Tina, Allan Mc & AlanG. Not happy Jan! Anyway, I swore that the other teams (15min of BarryC and RichardK ) were holding steady. We got a cheer from the 18min team of DavidO, PaulB and LaurieF. Not long after that I was head down watching that cadence and hear ‘Lookout Roo!’ Check the sphincter, then the grip and see The Roo in the paddock to my left. Bounding away from us. Neither of us looked behind for the chasers. The start of the last lap couldn't come quick enough and as we turned that penultimate turnaround I heard lots of encouragement. Thankyou. The final climb up Grassdale was not at the pace that Harold set earlier and from there on I, and probably Harold too, was as much listening for bike noise from behind as I was to my self-talk (that just wouldn't leave me alone).This time we noticed that none of the other groups had combined which just meant one thing - they will ride well. But at the final turnaround, The Bentley was struck with a Lactic Acid attack and I found myself alone with the voices. 6Km to get to the finish. Lets see. Well, thanks to Harold and our Handicapper, I crossed the finish before being caught and was a very tired racer. Many thanks to Commissaire Shaun and the Marshals (Graeme Walker & Peter Wynne) Follow Car Johnny Parello and Timekeeper Brian Long for enabling the ride to proceed, and to Barry C for the morning tea.
