Page 2 Opening in early 2018, Podium Lodge was founded by the Brian Perry Charitable Trust. Recognising a niche for our sports-driven community, the Perry Family saw an opportunity to create something special. They thought; hey, wouldn’t it be nice to have a fun place to stay to share our passion and create memorable experiences for Cambridge visitors? So, here we are! Podium Lodge is thrilled to be partnering with the Morrinsville Wheelers to deliver the 2020 Podium Lodge Bev May Women’s Tour. The tour has been a meaningful part of the women’s cycle racing calendar for more than three decades and it is our pleasure to be part of this iconic event. Pop in for a visit anytime, we’d love to be your hosts in Cambridge.

There had been women cyclist’s before Bev but they had never been allowed to ride with the men. This all changed when Bev got her chance to show the guys what she was made of. During a novelty day held by the Waipa Wheelers, Bev not only took part in the race against the men her age but then went and beat them. This inspired Bev to want to race against the men every week. Only one problem, women weren’t allowed to race with the men. The blokes weren’t having a bar of it. Bev’s persistence paid off and in 1960 she became the first women in NZ to take out a racing license. The men put out a petition to try and ban Bev from racing with them but thankfully for us, it failed. Bev competed for 28 years, becoming the fastest women in the 160km Mt Egmont (now Taranaki) race in 1966 in a time of 4 hours 54 minutes and winning the Morrinsville Open. Unfortunately, it was an accident that ended Bev’s competitive days in 1988. It would probably be easier to list the body parts Bev didn’t fracture. This hasn’t diminished Bev’s love of cycling or her contribution. Prior to that Bev had already been active in the administration side of the sport. She’s been the club secretary [email protected] | 07 974 1710 at Morrinsville Wheelers longer, I imagine, than 20 Peake Road Cambridge, 3283 most people can recall. And in 1990 she started the Bev May’s Women’s Tour. www.podiumlodge.co.nz Previous Winners Year A Grade B Grade C Grade U17 U15 U13 1990 Sally Fraser Marie Flynn Harley Leaman 1991 Jaqui Nelson Tania Bracey Harley Leaman 1992 Kay Jones Andrea Bayliss Denise Beatson 1993 Sally Fraser Ms O’Sullivan Rebecca Flagstaff 1994 Roz Reekie Carolyn Mills Sandra May 1995 Joanna Lawn Desiree Lowe Kirsty Robb 1996 Tania Duff Miller Sandra May Deane Maree Cooper 1997 Jacinta Coleman Kirsty Robb Marina Duvjnak 1998 Roz Reekie-May Margaret Radich Kate Mullarkey 1999 Kirsty Robb Rochelle Smith Sarah Melsop 2000 Jacinta Coleman Margaret Radich Sara Sergejaw 2001 Sarah Ulmer Michelle Hyland Sara Martin 2002 Melissa Holt Helen Rae Kirsty Edmondson 2003 Melissa Holt Serina Shridan Nicole Begg 2004 Sarah Ulmer Karen Fulton Rushlee Buchanan 2005 Melissa Holt Rushlee Buchanan Emma Peterson 2006 Sarah Ulmer Donna Sibley Emma Peterson 2007 Toni Bradshaw Maria Cleary Linda Martin Frances Bramsfield Laura Gretton 2008 Toni Bradshaw Maddy Brunton Jemima Brindle Brodie Stewart Ellie Heenan 2009 Marina Duvjnak Ashleigh Neave Pamela McCauley Georgina Wilson Robyn Hacker-Cary 2010 Sonia Waddell Georgia Williams Joe Carrell Georgina Wilson Maxyna Cottam Jessica Reid 2011 Catherine Cheatley Deanne Bell Zola McDonald Steffie Holcroft Sophie Pulford Ashley Tonkin 2012 Georgia Williams Devon Hiley Lisa Atkins Sophie Pulford Michaela Drummond Therese Williams 2013 Georgia Williams Sarah Backler Rachel Bartells Elizabeth Stannard Shane Fulton Grace Kelly 2014 Georgia Williams Rachel Hamill Libby Gray Jessica Read Rebecca Gumbley Saaka van der Peet 2015 Emma Petersen Stephanie Fowlie Lesley Vanner Georgia Danford Ally Wollaston Sacha McLeod 2016 Amanda Jamieson Alice Chaplin Eltje Malzbender Ally Wollaston Maddi Doublas Anna Watts 2017 Madeleine Park Abigail Morton Emma Swanwick Ally Wollaston Sacha McLeod Emma Blackmore 2018 Pip Sutton Laura Bickers Kristi Dorotich Ella Wyllie Bee Townsend Caoilinn Gray 2019 Kirsty McCallum Brittany Warly Fiona Carswell Lucy Buckeridge Ruby Spring Caoilinn Gray Paracyclists 2013 Sue Reid 2017 Tiffiney Perry 2014 Sue Reid 2018 Eltje Malzbender 2015 Tiffiney Perry 2019 Tiffiney Perry 2016 Tiffiney Perry Tour Jerseys A Grade Tour Leader Sprint Ace Queen of the Jersey Jersey Mountain Jersey B Grade Tour Leader Sprint Ace Queen of the Jersey Jersey Mountain Jersey C Grade U19 Grade Tour Leader Tour Leader Jersey Jersey U17 Grade Tour Leader Sprint Ace Princess of the Jersey Jersey Mountain Jersey U15 Grade U13 Grade Tour Leader Tour Leader Jersey Jersey Most Aggressive Page 6 Event Officials Event Manager Bev May Chief Commissaire Mark Ireland Commissaires John McDonnell, Ben Olson, Graham Bunn, Bev May, Heather Smyth, Graham Moffitt, Roz Reekie-May, Mark May, Graham Bell, Grant Webb STMS Management Traffic Management NZ, Morrinsville Wheelers, Traffic Controllers (Dave May, Paul Doelman, Andrew Hinton, Carol Findlay, Darryn Jackson, Bruce Robinson and Robin Heaney Results Quentin Ginever, Sandra Ginever Registration, Lead Cars, Morrinsville Wheelers Cycling Club Members, Wheel Wagons, Tail End Rotary Club Morrinsville Charlies, Corner Marshals Announcer Mark May First Aid TBA Publishing & Website Sandra Ginever, Geoff Dickerson Official Photographer Contact Roz Reekie May T 021 934 960 E [email protected] Event Manager Bev May Chief Commissaire Mark Ireland Commissaires John McDonnell, Ben Olson, Graham Bunn, Bev May, Heather Smyth, Graham Moffitt, Roz Reekie-May, Mark May, Graham Bell, Grant Webb STMS Management Traffic Management NZ, Morrinsville Wheelers, Traffic Controllers (Dave May, Paul Doelman, Andrew Hinton, Carol Findlay, Darryn Jackson, Bruce Robinson and Robin Heaney Liv Advert to come Results Quentin Ginever, Sandra Ginever Registration, Lead Cars, Morrinsville Wheelers Cycling Club Members, Wheel Wagons, Tail End Rotary Club Morrinsville Charlies, Corner Marshals Announcer Mark May First Aid TBA Publishing & Website Sandra Ginever, Geoff Dickerson Official Photographer Contact Roz Reekie May T 021 934 960 E [email protected] Event Locations Taukoro3 Rd Hangawera2 Rd STUDHOLME ST SEALES RD Lindale St Elizabeth1 Ave CORONATION RD MORRINSVILLE SNELL ST AVENUE RD STUDHOLME ST 4 Enyon Rd 1 Morrinsville Intermediate School, Race Headquarter, Start of Circuit Race 2 Hangawera Road, Start of A/B/C/U17/PC Grades Stage 1 3 Taukoro Road, Start of U15/U13 Grades Stage 1 4 Eynon Road, Start of A/B/C/U17/U15/U13 Grades Stage 2 Race Rules 1.
