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.

Race Report GSCC Super Vets 30th September, 2026Three laps around the world acclaimed course starting from the club rooms and finishing in Larcombes Rd (A). 37.65km (race report kindly provided by Terry Collie. Photos & some additional words kindly provided by Sir Marcus Coppock of Paraparap (SV MoC))Deja vuSupervets 3 laps of the world renowned on Wednesday 30th Sept.was a case of deja vu all over again. On a day that was calm withalmost no wind the out markers were always going to be hard tocatch - not a day for the back markers particularly Michael Hay,sentenced to ride off scratch on his lonesome. But to stay awaywas not going to be easy and would require smooth and even turnsof pace.First away were a Bentley and a Royce - two upmarket names on22 mins. Lew Targett found his battery was flat so David Phillipsand Terry Collie were next away on 18 mins and would be out ofsight for a while as Tina Stenos, Barry Campbell and Alan Greengave them a six minute start. Chasing them three minutes laterwere the largest group of the day Glen Barnes, Paul Bird, DavidO’Dwyer and Laurie Fitzsimons on his first ride for a while. Afurther 3 mins and Jess Douglas, David Spence and Eugene Czulijwere on the pedals. They were pursued 90 seconds later by PeterWynne and Gary Day and then Gordon Spargo had a generous fourand a half minutes to deliver his commissaire spell to scratch manMichael Hay.With their combined 150 plus years of experience David and Terrycombined very well but Harold and Phil were not sighted untiltoward the end of lap two and were not caught until half way alongGrays road the final time. David appeared to get stuck on the bigchainring and upped the speed as we passed. Harold howevercaught the bus and was gracious enough to help with a few turnsof pace. Along with the lack of wind smooth and even got us tothe line while Phil maintained a good speed to hold on for fourth.For me an average speed of just under 30 kph for the first time thisyear which was a measure of the conditions.There was deja vu too in the usual suspects who made the racepossible - thanks to Gordon Spargo, Brian Long, Richard Buckwell,Johnny Parello, Murray Riggs and Marcus Coppock.
