Despite the predicted 37 degrees and rolling road closures, due to the Cadel Evans bike racing event, 33 people were able to make their way to Queenscliff to participate in our final event in the Surf Coast Series. Our numbers have remained fairly consistent throughout January, even though there has been a regular, large turnover of different participants. We had 83 people take part over the 4 events. Thanks to everyone for making this happen! We had a fairly even spread across the 4 groups this week, results as follows….. PW60 John C was on form this week setting a blistering pace and collecting 390 points well within the time limit. Adrian S was a close 2nd and Kate S took 3rd place by just 5 seconds (walking with Sue C). A fairly small group this week with Helen A, Susanne C,Lynda M, Barry C and Rae S taking the remaining places. Overall results for PW60 (best 3 events): 1st John C (298 points) 2nd Rosemary H (297 points) PW90 Dave S continued his formidable form to collect all 30 controls well within the time limit. Jo T had another excellent walk to take 2nd. Jenny and Patrick D seem to be hooked now and Jenny has worked out how to consistently finish ahead. A few more regulars rounded out the group. Overall results for PW90 (best 3 events): 1st Dave S (300 points) 2nd Jo T (293 points) Run60 Steven O came for his first Surf Coast event and took an impressive win. Hamish R was hot on his heels, covering more ground in less time but collecting less points. Kahlia C kept up her consistently good form to take 3rd while regular, Zoe F, took 4th. Jenny C, Blair T, Craig R and Judi H took the remaining spots. Overall results for Run60 (best 3 events): 1st Kahlia C (298 points) 2nd Zoe F (294 points) Run 90 Andrew T had already won the series before even tying his shoelaces but that didn’t stop him getting all controls with 34 minutes to spare! David C had a great run, finishing a few minutes behind with a more efficient route choice. Peter and Nick M (I assume father and son) also got all controls and finished only a couple of minutes apart. Nick covered the most ground and had a great pace. A couple of StreetO veterans fought it out for the next 2 spots, Don F pipping Alan C. Martina G, Fiona F and Suzanne O finished next. Overall results for Run90 (best 3 events): 1st Andrew T (300 points) 2nd Alan C (288 points) Presentations were followed by 20 people enjoying dinner at the Queenscliff Bowling Club. As usual, the staff were very welcoming, the food was good, and the view was exceptional. We’re looking forward to the return of our Summer Series regulars as well as any interested newcomers. Hopefully the Surf Coast series has given a few more a taste of the fun and they will choose to join us. Event 8 kicks off tomorrow at 7pm, starting at Balyang Sanctuary, Marnock Road, Geelong.
