Friday, May 7th, 2010
Stuart Curnow out sprinted his co-markers to take a good victory in Cuddon Cycling Marlborough’s Anderson Rosebowl event at Okaramio on Saturday afternoon.
The open grade 35km handicap event from Okaramio to Havelock and return saw riders encounter headwinds on the outward journey which closed up the field considerably for the return journey. The 18m front markers worked well together with 3 riders still left to sprint for line honours. Curnow was to strong and took the trophy from Denis Church and Julie Fry respectively. The 5m break group had a great ride to finish just 29 seconds back with martin Fletcher heading off co-markers Mike Murphy, alan Milne and Glen Herkt. Fastest time went to scratch rider Conway Taylor who out sprinted his co-markers Tony Catterick, Gerard van Antwerpen and Andrew Jamieson. 
The junior under 17 grade competed in a 2okm handicap event on the Northbank road for the Keighley Cup. Strong working by the 3 minute break group saw them ride to victory with Nick Blakiston taking line honours and the cup from Brodie Catterick and Sonya Ginders. Scratch rider Callum Saunders took fastest time from co-marker Will Hart just over a minute back.

Saturday, May 1st, 2010
Warren Hall was again in good sprinting form to just hold out co-marker Martin Fletcher in Cuddon Cycling Marlborough’s open grade event last from Renwick Saturday afternoon.
The open grade 45km handicap event drew a small field on the Renwick to Wairau Valley and return course.

Nothing could stop the 7 minute markers as they forged into the lead with Hall taking victory in the close sprint with Fletcher, with Richard Hill a few seconds back. The scratch markers and 4 minute markers were only 41 seconds back with Brent Ackroyd (4m) heading off Max Pendleton (4m), and Gerard van Antwerpen in the sprint to the line. Van Antwerpen took time honours from co-marker Tony Catterick.
The junior under 17 grade rode a 25km handicap event on the open course. New rider Brodie Catterick (off 2m) showed his speed to take the win from co-marker Leatham Landon-Lane with a good ride to lone scratch marker Will Hart to finish third, and also taking fastest time.

Open grade 45km handicap, W Hall (off 7m) 1, M Fletcher (off 7m) 2, R Hill (off 7m) 3, B Ackroyd (off 4m) 4, M Pendleton (off 4m) 5. Fastest time, G van Antwerpen (scr) 65m 12s 1, T Catterick (scr) s.t. 2, B Ackroyd (4m) 69m 12s 3,
