Rob Ryan is a valued club member who year after year gives back to the sport he loves. He like all cyclists develop many friendships while riding a bike along the way. Rob has organised many charity rides for groups leaving people with some fantastic memories and stories to keep forever. We pay tribute to Rob and his team at Palmfeild Motors and congratulate them for winning New Zealands No 1 Mazda Dealer of the year.

Steve and Catherine Stannard and their cycling family have been an amazing contributor to the club and in general the sport across NZ and Australia. From event management to riding, racing and coaching to all things cycling at a higher level we appreciate their knowledge and support. Can I encourage all cycling groups to pop into their intimate Cyclista Cafe on George street to experience great coffee and the feel of sitting in a small “Tour de France” Cycling village type cafe with memorabilia. It is our way of saying thank you.
