Big fortnight for Eureka Cycling

EXCITING results for Eureka recently with Steve Linane taking a much-deserved handicap win over the testing Ercildoune/ Addington Loop circuit.

Linane and Dan Whelan used the climb up Harrison’s Road to make their race defining move and successfully hold off the rampaging Scratch bunch.

Meanwhile seven Team Eureka riders ventured to Seymour for the Eastern Open on Saturday, 23 March, with Steve Biram placing second and Dan Whelan a brave fifth.

The next day saw Eureka Cycling stage graded division racing on the sun-drenched Windmill circuit at Learmonth. The north wind gradually increased throughout the morning and nullified any daring tactics across the divisions.

Windmill 52.5 Km results – Division 1 – 1st – Stu Brien, 2nd – Rob Ellis, 3rd – Peter Kiel. Division 2 – (deadheat) Peter Canny and Darryn Reed, 3rd – Bob Braszell. Division 3 – 1st – Geoff Martin, 2nd – Steve Linane, 3rd – Dan Whelan. Division 4 – 1st – James Gretton, 2nd – Rob Parker, 3rd – Jim Burzacott.

Ercildoune / Addington Loop 55 Km results – 1st – Steve Linane (15 min), 2nd – Dan Whelan (15 min), 3rd – Vaughan Bowman (Scratch), 4th – Brendan Schiemer (Scratch), 5th – Matt Angus (6 min). Fastest Time Vaughan Bowman (Scratch) in 1h 26m, 38.4kph ave.
