Sutton Cup Results

by | Oct 17, 2011 | Event Reports

Congratulations to Megan who pulled off a narrow win for the  Sutton Cup which  was run on Saturday on the Halcombe, Stanway, Tokorangi course. The handicapping was superb and saw the majority of the field finish within 10 minutes of the first finishers. Thanks to Dave Bleakley who assisted on the finish line and also to Chris and Rebecca Denholm who were marshalls and Kirsty Kaihau for course layout. And a reminder to everyone to bring your shoes else you may have to end up riding in a different group than what you would normally be in.

The next club race is the Hill Climb Cup which is open to all age groups. Look at the calendar for more details.

Wednesday Night Time Trial Series

by | Oct 13, 2011 | Archive(News)

The Wednesday Night Time Trial Series started this week out at Kairanga. A smaller group than usual headed off in near perfect conditions and this was reflected in some quality times, with Matiu Kaihau blowing past the 16:00 minute barrier in just the first week, and Josh Chard posting a very impressive 16min 43sec. The women’s course record holder, Jocelyn Goodwin recorded 19 mins 31sec as the fastest women on the night but was only 3 sec ahead of Rachel Southee with track sprint champion Megan Blatchford-Peck, just a further 12 sec back. So it looks like it will be a tight tussle for the women’s fastest time for the series. And with the ideal conditions on the first night it will be a challenge for the riders to improve their times for the rest of the series.
