In early September, Emma participated in the 2014 Powerman World Duathlon Championships at Zofigen, Switzerland, that took in a 10km run, followed by 150km bike ride, followed again by a 30km run, all on hilly courses. Emma covered the event in 6hrs 47mins 27seconds to not only win the World Championship, but to beat the 2nd placed Swedish competitor, Eva Nystrom, by a huge margin of 32 minutes. She also broke the event record by over 16 minutes. The question is: what’s next!! Emma intends to continue with duathlon and triathlon competition, but has also taken on the mantle of being a women’s representative on the UCI’s Women’s Commission. Congratulations Emma and we’re all behind you, and delighted to see your name in Banner Headlines. FORTHCOMING RACES Handicapper is Wayne Lally: [email protected] Tel. 93302643.

For once, all groups behaved themselves by riding to the typed schedule, and the only ‘incident’ involved Bruce Abbott who fell in the final 500m of ‘C’ grade, and ended up with a few bruises and grazing. However, there was a disturbing report by a driver who did a Uturn to report that he’d only just missed 2 riders who had switched to the wrong side of the road on one of the final corners as he headed towards them. He was quite calm about the issue, and didn’t rant & rave, but the incident shook him up. So, please use your heads, for ending up flattened and pinned to the front of a car or truck won’t do you or the club much good! ‘A’ grade was its usual ebullient self, with a 5-strong break gaining 30seconds on the first lap. Tony Anderson, Jon Gregg, Julian Lowes, Wayne Thomson and Patrick Hayburn were still out front until 4 laps to go, but apart from Tony Anderson, were then absorbed. It was then the turn of Craig Pennell who joined Tony with 4 to go but they were steadily wheeled in, only for Jon Gregg and Jason Cawthorne to take their place. They held the lead to finish in that order, some 20seconds ahead of winner of the bunch sprint, Doug Stewart, who was closely followed over the line by 4th placed Wayne Thomson, Ian Gregory, Julian Lowes, Sam Smith and another 19 contestants. ‘B’ Grade riders were also keen to see action, and at the end of the 2nd lap Reg Edwards, Peter Mills and Merv Byfield passed the start point with smiles on their faces and a 15 second lead. That lead had increased by a further 5 seconds at the end of the following circuit, but their joyride came to an end with 5 laps to go. The event came down to a mass bunch sprint that spread the width of the road and into the hard shoulder lane. Brett Parkes took the honours, just ahead of Peter Hammond, Ray Lawrie, Paul Hearne, Tony Mott, Tim Mollison and 24 other survivors. Thirty-seven ‘C’ grade riders adopted their usual calm approach by largely sticking together at a rapid pace. Steve Ryan with a 5second lead with 4 laps to go appeared to be the only one to show initiative, but of course, that’s the view from the line where only a snapshot is possible. In the sprint, Brett Clapham called on his sprinting ability to record a win of over a length, when he hedged out Michael Morton and John Liso for the three podium places. Steve Ryan was 4th, while Peter Pang was pleased to record a place in the first five finishers, just ahead of Peter Neuzerling and Brett Craig. ‘D’ Grade was only 10-srong but that didn’t lead to complacency, and a lap or so after the start, Greg Smith and Natalie Roberts decided to ride away from their compatriots, and led the bunch for the rest of the race. The win went to ‘Womankind’ as Natalie sprinted strongly over the final 150metres to beat Greg into 2nd place by a few metres, while Margaret Gollagher beat Sean Yeates when taking 4th place. ‘E’ grade started with 6 riders, but neither Alan Taylor nor Kevin Hart had enough miles in their legs to pose a threat. Oldest man in the race, 85-year old Brian Kennedy, battled on gamely after his racing lay-off, and was pleased to finish the event. In a two-up sprint, Derek Mayall triumphed over Lauri Mucciarone, with Denis Robinson finishing 2mins 30secs behind in 3rd place. A’ Grade, 86km (10 laps) 1. Jon Gregg; 2. Jason Cawthorne; 3.

However, the temperature was comfortable and there was hardly a breath of wind. Despite a damp road for the early starters, surprisingly, only one rider, Allan McDonald, suffered a puncture. As usual, we don’t give a blow for blow report on the championships, but the rides of Jon Gregg and Greg Jones in the 40-44 year age group were worthy of mention as they rode most of their 88km race in tandem, and put about 6 minutes into their compatriots. Brian Kennedy was the oldest rider in the race and he was a deserving winner of his ‘gold’ in the 80-84 year age group. 80-84 years Gold – Brian Kennedy’ 75-79 years Gold – Derek Mayall Silver – Denis Robinson. 70-74 years Gold – Bob Addy Silver – Gerry Allen 65-69 years Gold – Bruce Abbott Silver – Dave Walker Bronze – Malcolm McWatt 60-64 years Gold – Ray Lawrie Silver – Michael Morton Bronze – Bert Veenendaal 4.

Only brave 68 riders ventured out, and in ‘A’ grade of the 25 starters, eight failed to finish. As a concession, all races were reduced by one lap. Because my notes disintegrated in the rain – and as this was written weeks after the event, then the details are a blank – but congrats to all those who participated! ‘A’ Grade 75km (7 laps) 1.

AVCC NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS – Perth, September 26-29th 2014 Thanks everyone for your attendance and help during the national titles. All reports were positive, though afraid that we weren’t able to turn off the awful weather for the Time Trials, nor the showers for the criteriums and road race. Thanks also to ‘Norm’ and his staff at the Chidlow Tavern for putting on the presentation lunch following the Road Races. All results will be found on the web pages – but congratulations to all the gold, silver and bronze medallists. A special congrats to Sam Smith for taking out the prestigious Mockridge Cup award for best on time standard in the time trial, and also to Jon Gregg for an amazing 44kph ride in appalling conditions, and to Lorna Henson for being the fastest woman rider. It was also great to see Leila Spurgeon take out the award judged by the race referees for the Bill Long Shield for the most meritorious performance during the championships. A special thanks to the marshals and others who stood in the rain for hours to ensure the championships was a success. 5 October – Gr. Scratch Neerabup For the third weekend in a run, the 63 riders who started at Neerabup were to face appalling conditions, with high blustery winds and icy cold rain. Perhaps the few puncture victims were fortunate in having premature finishes, for there were a number of people at the finish who looked as if they had suffered. No record times today, and the prepared lap schedule was way out of kilter. Perhaps ride of the day was the effort of Andrew Patterson who time trialled for much of ‘A’ grades 90km race. Riding away on lap 2 of the 12 laps, he was only caught with 5 laps to go even though there were attempts by Ian Lyne and by Michael Tapscott and Magnus Rudisele to close the gap. Just before the catch, the bunch split and the final laps saw a small group hold onto a lead of over a minute by the bell. In the hard fight into the wind at the finish, it was Doug Stewart who proved too strong for 2nd placed Patrick Hayburn with Michael Tapscott finishing 7 secs behind in 3rd place. Keith Winch was a further 4 seconds behind. There were only 8 finishers out of the 16 who started the event. The ‘B’ graders kept to the time schedule for three laps before the elements began to take effect on the lap times. However, the hard conditions didn’t prevent some epic attempts to split the field, and Ian Turner was an early aggressor, as were Norm Shattock and Ray Lawrie. The coupe de grace came with a break by Antony Bourn and Julian Chipper with three to go. A lap later they led by 1min 5secs, a lead that had stretched to 1min 30secs at the bell and 45secs at the finish. Antony Bourn proved the fastest over the final 150metres or so. Ray Lawrie led in the bunch, 1min 40secs behind, with Anthony Mateljan, Darin Dunstan, Carl Skinner, Jessica Huston and 4 others in close contention. ‘C’ grade saw the group stay close together – perhaps a wise decision under the conditions. This, of course, played into the hands of the sprinters – though, as with other groups, the speed over the final couple of hundred metres could hardly have been classed as sprinting but rather as survival into the wind. Strongman of the bunch was Michael Morton who beat John Liso to the line, with Dale Wright finishing a few metres behind in 3rd place. Keith Hickey placed 4th, while Jaimie Bell, Steve Ryan, Bob Addy, Simon O’Leary and Paul Shields recorded the same time. ‘D’ grade started with 5 riders, but that number was depleted by one when Bill Stibbs punctured early in the race. Bob Stephens also called it a day with a lap to go, leaving the winning move to be contested by Wayne Gordon, Daniel Gentili and Leila Spurgeon. Daniel proved best on the day and crossed just ahead of Leila who had ridden strongly throughout the race, and Wayne Gordon in 3rd. ‘E’ grade riding 6 laps saw only two competitors Denis Robinson and Laurie Mucciarone. They doggedly fought the elements, and after a lap or so they parted ways and time trialled to the finish, with first place going to Laurie Mucciarone. A’ Grade, 90km (12 laps) 1. Doug Stewart; 2.

With both grade and overall prizes, plus the finalised points competition prizes and trophies on show, it proved a fitting climax to an excellent season. With 25 minutes separating scratch from limit and 7 minutes separating each of the four groups, it was a story of all stops out. However, on the day, though the ‘A’ grade group appeared to ride hard, they never seemed to rise to the occasion to combat the fast and steady pace of ‘C’ and ‘B’ grades. The latter were lapping at between 12.00mins and 12m 25secs, ‘C’ grade at between 13m.00secs and 13m 20secs, while ‘A’ grade who needed to pull back at least 1m 45secs a lap on ‘C’ grade found themselves well behind schedule after only a few laps into the race. ‘B’ grade, however, were within striking distance of ‘C’ as they entered the final lap, but at the finish it was ‘C’ grade that triumphed by about half-a minute, with ‘A’ grade over 5 minutes behind, and the small ‘D’ graders led in by Dave Walker another few minutes behind. The overall winner was Paul Shields who just edged out Bob Addy on the line. ‘E’ grade started and finished with three riders, and riding over 5 laps the winner was Derek Mayall, with Laurie Muccarione 2nd some 2m 5secs behind, while Kevin Hart completed the activities of the trio. The fight for honours in ‘B’ grade went to Anthony Bourn who pipped Ray Lawrie by a mere few cms, while in ‘A’ grade it was Gary Wright who scored a clear victory over Ian Gregory, Steve Beales and Doug Stewart. The presentations were accompanied by a feast of Subway fare and biscuits, but these items twere quickly demolished. There was also a special presentation of a signed tribute to Bob Addy on the occasion of his retirement, after a long and illustrious racing career. Results lifted from the Webpage!
