Out Nobles Rd and back, Out Forest Rd and back, finish in Larcombes Rd. 48 km

Sunday morning; 9.30 am. overcast, warm, mild with humid conditions greeted 25 riders for a 48 km. handicap out over Nobles Rd, out Forest Rd, return to the circuit and finish in Larcombes Rd. As the race progressed the conditions changed dramatically as the strength of the wind blowing from the North was almost gale force, splintering bunches severely when they turned into Hendy Mane Rd for the final six kilometers. Daryl Peterson from the limit bunch of 20 mins tried to go alone only to be chased down in the last two km. Peter Ladd from the 9.0 min bunch also tried in vain only to be swallowed up with one kilometer to go by the strong backmarkers, in Steve Young, Peter McDonough, 3.00 min Jeff Miller, Malcolm Lloyd, and Grant Rogers, and only Grant was able to hold the wheel of Steve Young who took out first and fastest time with Grant finishing second.

Aggregate Handicap, Forest Rd & 2 Laps, finish Larcombes Rd 57km

In energy sapping conditions thirty two riders fronted for the Australia Day handicap being the first aggregate points race for 2012 and Dave Robinson first race as club handicapper. With little or no breeze about and the dry heat coming off the road it was sure to have an effect on riders as the race wore on. On the out and back leg on Forest rd all groups stayed together with minimal time being taken out of the 7 bunches. However the 2 min bunch was riding strong and holding off scratch and taking a minute out of 4:30 bunch

The 18 and 29 min bunches were plodding along and riders slowly splintering off leaving riders to their own devices. On the second lap of the Paraparap circuit the 9 and 13 min bunch merged and the 2 min gathered in the 4:30 min bunch along Grays rd and then reeled in the 9 min bunch at the clubrooms corner. As this group of riders went up the rise Peter, Rick, Andrew, Jeff, Marcus and Ray Russo took off and were able to shake off the rest of the field and set off in chase of the dwindling lead riders. In the meantime Greg Steenvoorden had been able to keep his rhythm out front and was now riding by himself. Scratch had succumbed to task set for it and was out of contention.

Along Grays rd for the final time the odd rider was picked up with Greg still tapping a steady pace. At the clubrooms corner for the final time Andrew, Jeff and Rick surged up the rise and put in a gap in to the other 3 riders, Rick Buckwell then made his move and kicked again riding Jeff and Andrew off his wheel and was able to put in a 100 metre gap as he cleared the rise. He continued to up to Larcombes rd corner and onwards to cross the finish line by nearly over minute to the chasing bunch.

Greg Steenvoorden remained elusive all day and took out line honours by over 2 mins to Rick who also took out fastest time then followed by Jeff, Marus and Andrew.
