It is getting closer to the end of the series, just one more week of points and then prizegiving. To give you some facts and figures for this series, we have had 93 people particpate over the series. Some of those were only new last night, but we have had anything from 26 to 57 participants on any one night.
Of the 41 people that took part last night only 11 were able to better their previous best time. David Martin and Jessica Hamilton have both been able to improve on their times from the beginning of the series by nearly 3 minutes.
Mark Waterland who normally calculates the results for us is away on school camp this week so if you have any problems with the results this week I will be the one that will have to sort it out.
Thanks to the helpers this week – Marcel Hollenstein on the turn, Kirsty Kaihau, Michelle Mikkelsen, for recording starts and finish times, Paul Roberts for holding on the start line.

We are now entering the 20th century or at least modern times with registering for club events.
If you have a look on the club calendar for this week you will see that it is a circuit race in Feilding.
And in the details it tells you to click on this link which will let you as a member of Bike Manawatu to use your login and password to directly register for the event.
This is part of the software that is available to us through Bike NZ. I am still getting to grips with all of its capabilities and it has only become available to bike clubs in NZ.
So have a look and see what you think about it.

It is great to see that the club champs have been well patronised and there has been some good competitive riding happening out on the track. End of season prizegiving is looming but apart from club champs there is the point series to complete. There is one more week available to earn valuable points. And then the final night will be a fun night with lolly scrambles and perhaps a novelty race like riding around the track the wrong way – and I have heard that lollies occasionally get thrown in the wrong direction and end up in the grandstand so be sure to bring the family and friends along to see what you have been doing on the track. They may just get a lolly or two also.

You couldn’t have asked for a better day to hold time trials. And compared to the weather of the previous weekend you would have to wonder if you were even in the same hemisphere. With a balmy 260C anticipated it proved to be a warm event and the finish line judges and recorder were blessed with the shade of a large tree to stand in.
Visitor Justin Weir started the proceeding as he was sharing a bike with Dad Nev. He was followed ten minutes later by the under 13s who were completing 8kms.
Next in the starting blocks was the under 15 and under 17’s who had to complete 16kms. For those who had chosen to complete the 40km course which included senior and master men 1 and 2 they were sent on their way before being followed for the 25km distance by the under 19s, senior women and the rest of the masters.
