“Le petite grimpeur” was the name for last Saturday’s club race. With start at Aokautere School A and B grade had to go over the Pahiatua track, do a loop at the other side come back over the track and finish up Polson Hill drive. The C grade did a bit shorter course. They went over the track turned at the bottom of it to hit for the finish at Polson Hill Drive. Not sure what was petite about this course it must have been the distance? C grade was won by Stuart Doidge in 56 min and 31 sec more than 2 minutes clear from number 2 Blair Webster. First woman was Elizabeth Stannard in 1 hour 2 min 06 sec.

With the older more experienced riders assembling at memorial park for a bunch ride the younger riders assembled at the Feilding velodrome for their first training. Denise Brown provided a great work out thoroughly enjoyed by all. Starting with some confidence building with learning to follow wheels and bike handling skills on the grass the training was finished with some competitive elements. It was nice to see the riders had good support form their parents. Next week Sunday 6 march The older riders will assmeble at memorial park at 8.30 am for a bunch ride and the younger ones at Feilding Velodrome at 8.30 am.

School cycling Manawatu 2011 kicked off last Sunday 20 February. We joined the combined Bike Manawatu ride and race with the social function afterwards in the Ashhurst School Hall. This Sunday 27th of February we will be at two locations.
- young starter riders will assemble and ride / train at the Feilding Velodrome at Johnston Park in Feilding at 8.30 am for directions http://www.aatravel.co.nz/main/listing.php?listingId=82553
- the others will assemble at Memorial Park 8.30 am and go f
or a bunch ride from there. This group split in to 3 sub groups based on ability. The thought is to divide the groups in the same way as we are going to do for the ride to Rathkeale for school camp 19/20 March. Beware you have to be self sufficient for punctures.
