Cyclists Brave Cold Conditions
04.07.09
Port Pirie Tour of the North was held on Saturday under very cold and drizzly conditions.  Local junior riders Sam Campbell, Jai Sutton, Tim Fulton and Nicole Goldring joined 11 other riders from around the State for a 45km handicap.

It was Goldring's day and she rode well taking out first position, Sutton finished fourth, Campbell ninth and Fulton further down the field putting in a great effort after a week off the bike due to sickness. 

Rhyse Carpenter, Ryan Ware, Paul Berkett, Will Symons, Neil Patterson, Malcolm Clasohm, Steve Brown, Adrian Wilson, Bob Monaghan and Hayden Gill helped to make up the field of 40 senior riders for a 90km handicap.  Clasohm was in fine form crossing the line with the sprint bunch of about 15 riders to finish in third position.  Carpenter pulled out at the 50km mark with a puncture and Berkett also pulled out at the 55km mark with an injury.
