Monday, October 31st, 2011First Summernite TT Under Belt For Dunstan
Wednesday, October 26th, 2011Ray Dunstan kept up his impressive time trial record with another convincing win in Cuddon Cycling Marlborough’s summernite series, Cycle World Time Trial No1, at Fairhall last Wednesday evening.
The opening 16km event drew a small field of hardened riders in the cool and wet conditions on the out and return New Renwick Road course from Wither Hills Winery. With a dead road, but little wind, Dunstan sped over the course to record a good 20m 58s which was only 34 seconds outside his Masters 50-54yrs record. The consistent Gerard van Antwerpen (22m 31s) and Andrew Jamieson (23m 10s) took second and third places respectively. The sealed handicap was extremely close with Graham Henderson taking the win by 1 second from van Antwerpen and just another 6 seconds to the fastest Women, Rhonda Murphy.

Saturday, October 15th, 2011Gerard van Antwerpen took his second consecutive first place and fastest time in Cuddon Cycling Marlborough’s final event of the Winter season at Fairhall hall on Saturday afternoon.

The scratch pair of Lee Griggs and van Antwerpen went through the middle markers and were in pursuit of the 17 minute front markers Denis Church and Joe Blakiston. The leading pair were caught just 1.5km from home with van Antwerpen taking line honours in the sprint from Griggs. Blakiston headed in Church, 27 seconds later, to take third place.

Saturday, October 8th, 2011Scratch rider Gerard van Antwerpen timed his finish perfectly to take first place and fastest time in Cuddon Cycling Marlborough’s Okaramio Hotel Challenge Trophy event at Okaramio last Saturday afternoon.
The open grade 50km handicap event covered a course out to Havelock, and over the Mahakipawa hill to almost Linkwater and return. After a tailwind on the outward journey the riders were tested with cold and wet conditions on the homeward leg. The nine minute markers of Dave Hutchison, Martin Fletcher, Graham Henderson and Frank Marfell worked well together to hit the front at Havelock on the return trip. At Rocky Creek (6km to go) the four were just 300m ahead of scratch markers Van Antwerpen and Lee Griggs, and Mike Murphy (off 5m). With 1km to go the catch was made with a Van Antwerpen attack which saw him ride clear for the win. The close sprint for the minor placings saw Fletcher lead out to hold off Henderson, Murphy and Griggs respectively.

Cracking Time By Top Team
Saturday, October 1st, 2011The top team set a cracking pace to record 52 minutes 37 seconds in Cuddon Cycling Marlborough’s 40km team time trial event from Renwick on Saturday afternoon.
The open grade event covered an out and return course from the Waihopai turnoff on State Highway 63 to just before Wairau Valley township and return. The riders encountered a head wind on the outward journey with the favourites Ray Dunstan, Gerard van Antwerpen, Andrew Jamieson and Brent Harris turning in 29m 58s. A very quick ride home of 22m 39s (average speed of 52.98kph) gave them a good victory. Although quite a few of the top riders were away two other teams had commendable rides to go under the hour. Antony Clark, Martin Fletcher, Craig Murphy and Brent Ackroyd recorded 57m 10s, whilst the three man team of Ryan Lock, Graham Henderson and Mike Murphy recorded 59m 23s.
The junior team event was a good practice for those riders competing at the National School Championships in Levin next weekend. The five man team of Leatham Landon-Lane, Peter Crampton, Callum Saunders, Quinn Karwowski and Nick Blakiston clocked a good time of 31m 01s over the 21km course.

Brodie Catterick Takes Club Champs Victory
Saturday, September 24th, 2011A great ride saw junior under 19 rider Brodie Catterick take top honours in Cuddon Cycling Marlborough’s Club Championships at Seddon last Saturday afternoon.
The 40km open grade massed start event saw six titles at stake over two laps of the hilly Seaview course. The windy conditions played a big part in the results with eight riders going clear of the field on the first hill only a kilometre from the start. As the race progressed, the long dragging climb back up to Seddon took its toll with only three riders left in the last few kilometres to contest the final sprint. A close finish saw Catterick head off Jeremy McKenzie to take the Mills Cup and the junior under 19 title. McKenzie took the Masters 35-44yrs title with Tony Catterick taking the Masters 45-54yrs title in third place. Another junior under 19 rider Peter Crampton had a strong ride to finish fourth, only 1m 23s down, and won the Gleeson Challenge Cup for the sealed handicap. Other titles went to Josh Scott (Senior Men) who had punctured on the first lap, Martin Fletcher (Masters 55+), and Rhonda Murphy (Women).
The junior under 17 grade 20km massed start event over one lap of the course saw Callum Saunders take his third consecutive title when he rode away from Quinn Karwowski in the last few kilometres to take a clear victory for the Jowers Cup by 1m 39s. Saunders time of 33m 55s was only 10 seconds outside the course record set by Callum Streeter in 2008. Nick Blakiston was well back in third place whilst Georgia Catterick took the junior women under 17 title. Saunders also took the Drake Challenge Cup for the sealed handicap win.

The open grade 50km event covered a new out and return course from the salmon farm on the Northbank Road.
