Start of 2014 Wednesday time trial results week 1

by Glenys Taylor | Feb 6, 2014 | Archive(News)

With a warm night (and of course a breeze ) the night was set to be a good one. New riders enlisted to take on the challenge of improving their times each week. Horizons yard is appreciated as a great assembly point off the road for everyone to congregate in and for parents to park and have a catch up.

Thanks go to the helpers – new ones are being trained and take on the roles easily. Rob does an outstanding job at the turn and I hope all the riders manage to thank him for standing out there when they go around the turn.

Results for the first week can be viewed here. All riders get 2 points for the first night so they haven’t been sorted to any order just in number order.

See you all next week and don’t forget to tell your friends that it is not too late to join in and get maximum points for the series.

PS. The wind did drop to nothing by the time the last rider was off. TOTAL of 29 riders for first night. Can we make it to 61 like we did last season – only the weather will decide.

Carnival Racing

Denton Park, Christchurch

Hello Team, 
The New Year has brought some great results and good fortune at the Denton Park track racing in early January and also the last Track Cycling World Cup in Guadalajara.

It was a great pleasure to be able to race at Denton Park because you hardly ever seem to be able to ‘relax’ during any racing and enjoy yourself with the others around you.
The Christchurch Carnival is superbly run and offers emerging NZ riders a great chance to compete with current National riders and see how they measure up.
