Overall a successful first run with our new Northern TT course. These new courses and events don’t just happen overnight. Leading in to schools nationals in late September there was an appetite for change to use the prevailing wind to our advantage, avoid magpies, declutter the southern course.
The Northern course will give a prevailing tail wind up towards the turn and head down hill to the finish.
The winds were the other way round today , made it tough, we did dodge the weather, and there’s another potential road course on the cards.
Unfortunately the Girls High Junior team tripped over themselves which ended up with 3 cracked helmets and a few stitches. They are made of tough stuff and will be back better and faster.
Huge thanks to the ever present Sam and Laura Richardson for doing the timing. Marshals Ross O’Dea, his father Erin O’Dea, Phil Riley, Kirsty Armstrong who ended up playing mum to many. Please appreciate our volunteers on the day. Many thanks to the group behind the scenes that keep coming up with this stuff.
