Prizemoney up for grabs
Over the next three weeks we are running a series of 3 handicap races.
The first will be this week at Pahiatua with registration at the Pahiatua Sports Centre. This weeks race is a sealed handicap race – that means no one knows what their handicap is, it is a bunch start and the resulting finish time is then adjusted for your handicap to give a finish place.
Race starts at 1.30pm To view the course click here. There is a shorter route for younger riders. Bring a plate for afternoon tea at the conclusion of racing.
