"I really wanted the double this year after finishing third in the time trial last year by 15 seconds before winning the road race in Cambridge," Porter said.
"To win the time-trial by more than two minutes was an awesome turn around," she said, referring to Thursday's victory in the time-trial when she completed 25km in 39m44s.
Another key to her success was racing in the B grade division of the Ramblers' weekly club rides.
"There are some big hitters in that division and they set me up well for the big races," Porter, a duty nurse manager at Hawke's Bay Hospital, said.
It is not unusual for her to complete 350km of training during eight to 13 hours each week.
"Hopefully we can retain the shield for the top club again. Either way there is going to be a big party at Ivar's place on Sunday night," she said. Clubmate Carol Bone also completed a time-trial road race double with her masters 7 grade victory, also over 52km yesterday.
Like her time-trial win, it was unopposed and Bone stopped the clock at 1hr51m02s.
Other Ramblers to make it to the podium yesterday included Carol McCallum, who was third in her masters 4 52km race in 1hr32m40s, and Rosemary Weskett, who was third in her masters 6 52km race, 7m24s behind the winner Sharon Prutton of Canterbury, who stopped the clock at 1hr35m36s.
The Bay's elite men's time trial winner, Olympian Westley Gough, will have the opportunity to complete doubles this weekend.
Taupo rider Kiaan Watts completed the under-15 boys' double yesterday.
