Manager and Handlers for Age Group and Elite track nationals required

The NZ Age Group Track Nationals are being held at the Indoor Velodrome down Invercargill 5th to 8th March 2014.  WCNI are looking for Managers and Handlers to be selected to help out at this event.

Also we will be needing a Manager for the Elites/U19 Track & Omnium Champs being held at the new Velodrome in Cambridge 13 to 16 March 2014.

We are very sorry that Rachael and Jeremy are unable to attend the Age Group this year as they have been such a great help to us in the past.

If you are interested in being a Manager or Handler please get in touch with Noeline Elden. email noeline_elden@xtra.co.nz

What did you do over the Christmas holiday?

Have you done something that is worth while sharing? Eat too much and not enough time on the bike?

This year I have not made a New Years resolution, much to the relief of everyone in our house. I did go mountain biking. Old Coach Rd from Ohakune to Horopito.

Nate Levin and Luke Mudgeway are currently battling it out at the Tour de Vineyards. Stage 2 today of the 5 stage tour. Go to Tasman Wheelers to view results.

Simon van Velthooven has been spotted at the Boxing Day races and even had his photo published in the Manawatu Standard surrounded by women.

Track carnivals continue to feature on the calendar in the build up to Centre champs and selection for track nationals.

 

There are still plenty of people out riding around the Manawatu which is great to see in the lead up to some road summer events.

Let me know what you got up to ( did you find a new favourite bike ride either locally, nationally or international, upgrade your bike, take up track cycling, compete in an event) and I will add to this list.
