With Geelong out of the AFL finals what better way to make the most of this Friday's GF public holiday than entering the 41st GSCC Layard Park Open. Come along and enjoy the fun 😄
Due to strong winds and a fall to Vince Trotter, as a result of hitting a falling tree branch , the race was abandoned with about 7 kms to the finish. All riders who started today as well as marshals will receive 1 point. Vince is in good spirits and was able to walk away from incident .... and yes the bike is ok
Race Report GSCC Super Vets 16th 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 Chris Fenech. Photos & some additional words kindly provided by Sir Marcus Coppock of Paraparap (SV MoC))‘Gentleman Pete’ Delivers a Gift as Scratch Nearly Steals the ShowIt was a victory that looked increasingly unlikely and a finish that could hardly have been scripted.Crossing the line first was a great result, but the real story of the day belongs to Peter Wynne, aka ‘Gentleman Pete.’ With the finish approaching, I was fully expecting Pete to sprint straight over the top of me. Instead, in a remarkable display of a true English Gentleman, he delivered the ultimate gift. But this result was a long way from guaranteed. At the start, winning was the last thing on my mind. Waiting alongside Pete, we knew we had a huge task ahead. Just five minutes behind were two red-hot scratch riders, Michael Hay and Harold Hanley, while the seven-minute group contained a dangerous quartet of Jess Douglas, Garry Day, Dave Spence and an in-form Eugene Czulij. Further up the road, the nine-minute group featured Aggregate leader Dave O’Dwyer, backed by Glen Barnes, James Burzacott, Paul Bird and Richard Kelly. Then came the 12-minute group, with another Aggregate contender, Tina Stenos, riding alongside Barry Campbell and Allan McKay. And still further ahead were Murray Riggs, Phill Royce, Terry Collie, Harold Bentley and Bob Osburn. In other words, there were plenty of riders with reasons to ride hard and plenty of opportunities for our hopes of victory to disappear. The plan was simple: be patient and ride our own race. That patience started to pay off on lap two. Pete and I caught the seven-minute group cresting the first climb on Forest Road, and their willingness to roll turns with us suddenly changed the complexion of the race. Pete was riding like the diesel engine he is - long turns, relentless tempo and rock-solid pacing into the Forest Road headwinds and rolling climbs. Meanwhile, my legs were beginning to feel more like lead than pistons. At the end of lap two, we swept up the combined 9 and 12-minute groups along Larcombes Road. Ahead, we could see Phill Royce, with Bob Osburn about 500 metres further up the road. Phill wished us well as we came past, while Bob dug incredibly deep to hold our wheels. He finally succumbed on Grays Road, despite his head and heart clearly telling his legs to keep going. And then, turning into Larcombes Road for the final time, something remarkable happened. The win was suddenly on. But lurking behind us was the real threat. Scratch was closing fast - eventually finishing just 14 seconds behind. As we approached the flag, I was waiting for the inevitable sound of Pete's gears clicking into sprint mode. Instead, I heard: “Go on mate - take the win.” And that was that. A hard-fought victory, a dramatic chase and a gift from ‘Gentleman Pete’ that won't be forgotten anytime soon. Sometimes the best wins aren't won alone.Placings1st Chris Fenech (5 Mins) 1:04:20 Ave 34.6 KPH2nd Peter Wynne (5 Mins)3rd Harry Hanley ( Scratch)4th Mike Hay (Scratch)5th Garry Day (7 Mins)6th Glenn Barnes (9 Mins)7th Jess Douglass (7 Mins)8th Barry Campbell (12 Mins)9th Paul Bird (9 Mins )Fastest TimeHarry Hanley (Scratch) 59:16 Mins Ave 37.6 KPH.Thanks to the marshals - Johnny Parrello, Carl Judd, Richard Buckwell, Ross West, holder of the checked flag, Brian Long the time keeper and to Commissaire Dave Phillips your time is well appreciated.
