Wednesday night time trials week 3 results

by | Feb 14, 2013 | Event Reports

The conditions certainly weren’t as good as the previous week but some good times were still posted.  The message about keeping off the road whilst waiting to start seems to have got through as no one was penalised this week. There are a group at the top of the table all on 6 points which shows that they have been able to improve on their previous best time each week. When you look at the times of these few the outstanding performer is Andrew McKenzie who has been able to improve by a minute each week. I wonder if he will be able to do the same next week.

Thanks to our helpers on the night – Kirsty Kaihau on the turn, Paul and Carol Roberts along with Stu McKenzie on the start line and also the finish.

Next week is the final night at Kairanga before the competition shifts to Linton Army Camp. Prize money will be awarded at the final night but will be split between the crit series and the time trial series. You  must be present to claim prizemoney. Unclaimed prizemoney is returned to the pot for the next series.

Congratulations to all Bike Manawatu members that competed at Masters Games

Over a week of fantastic cycling events started with the 2 day tour in which we had several members riding. A stand out performance on Saturday by Neville Weir in the first stage Time trial saw him leading in the 50 + age group.  He was able to retain that lead on the following stage and according to the results taking the stage from all age groups. However due to illness Neville wasn’t able to start the following day in stage 3.

Mike Thompson, Ross Castle and Greg Baker also competed in the 2 day tour in this age category. Graeme Bull competed in the 55+ age group.

In the ladies 2 day tour, Averil Sheehan took away the bronze in the  55+ age group whilst Jenny Farmer came away with the silver in the 65+ age group.
