Wednesday time trials week 6 results
With there being talk in the air that it was raining in Ashhurst yet it being a fine night at Kairanga the decision was made to leave the laptop in the dry and record all times start and finish the old way.
Thanks to all helpers. Without these people we would not be able to hold this event. And with the new people still showing up each week it would be interesting to see a night when everybody is able to turn up.
To date we have had 100 people in this series participate. With only a couple of weeks left the points are accumulating nicely.

Morgans Property Advisors Track results for 19th November 2013
The sun may have been out at the start of the meet but the shadow of the trees soon took it away to present a cold night with a stiff breeze. The racing tonight was of a high standard with the last race of the night being one of the best ever seen at the track. The night was punctuated with a number of stella performances with Michaela Drummond’s dominant display in the B grade points race to Samara Fenn’s strength in the under 15’s, the fight and determination from Hamish Mikkelsen to win the A grade 4 lap handicap, the race craft of Brent Zimmerman to win the B grade 12 lap handicap and Joel Yates aggression to make an impact on a race. Toshi Yaumachi is improving each week, his contribution to the B grade races this week indicate he will be one to watch as the season develops.
Festival of speed and Oceania Championship’s update
I arrived in Invercargill on Friday to a surprisingly beautiful day, to join the Bike NZ under 19 Track team for a camp over the time of the Festival of speed and the Oceania track cycling championships. This camp is a huge learning experience on and off the bike, with a lot of racing and having to shop, budget and cook together within our teams, which for me is the girls sprint team.
The Festival of speed is a Tier one UCI event, which attracted riders from six nations. There weren’t many races for us under 19’s over this Saturday and Sunday of racing, which meant we had a lot of time to watch and learn from the elites racing. On the Sunday afternoon session of the festival we pulled on our black skin suits with the white fern across our back and rode a 7.5km scratch race. My teammates raced an aggressive race, with many attacks throughout the 20 laps. In a lunge to the line I finished fourth, behind my teammates Olivia and Nina, and Auckland’s Bryony Botha.
