A great event, what else can be said about the 3Hr Enduro 2014. With 105 competitors and some elite level competition it had to be the fastest racing seen on the track.

Whilst Megan Algate got held up in the field from the start for a while it didn’t take long for her to get out and leave the rest behind. Winning the women’s grade Megan came in 15th overall with Anna Puckridge second in 29th overall place and Bobbie Pappin third in the women’s and 34th 

That’s two women club members in first and third place in the women’s event.

  • Our first non-podium women’s club member was Sue Anne Woodwiss in 38th
  • The mens event was a white wash with the two Nankervis brothers from Bendigo, Tasman and Russell finishing first and second and Joseph Leonard in third. The Nankervis lads completed around 80Km in 3 Hrs 13 minutes just 30. Seconds apart.
  • This may have been our fastest 3Hr Enduro with five riders completing 8 laps of the approx. 10km track.
  • Our first non-podium male was Tyler in 6th place overall a great result. Next year Tyler.
  • The 9th RND was held at Coomie over 2hrs as a warm up for the 3Hr Enduro. Rohan Hollis showed a clean set of heals to Jason Dawes and Damien Gibson.
  • The women’s event was won by the ever improving Bobbie Pappin with Genelle Baldwin and Jodie Bray not far behind.
  • Our events are attracting greater numbers of around 45 to 50 riders. The junior U/13 field is building in numbers and the women are developing quite a strong contingent.
  • Not forgetting our sponsors that have come on board again to support our club activities this year –
    • Coomealla memorial Sporting Club, our club parent Incorporating body and main supporting organisation. This event is supported and dedicated to the Coomie Club.
