Just to let you know in case you haven’t had a look at the calendar for this week we are holding the Essex Cup on Saturday.
Ian Gray has been out this morning and riden the course. He has informed me that the metal section of the road is in very good order so shouldn’t cause any problems.
The Essex Cup is an open handicap race. Ian Gray along with Mark Waterland are doing the handicapping so you need to have your entries to me by Friday morning please.

Below is the points table for the Interclub series.
As mentioned in an Email to all members last week we were behind on points after 3 events and so we needed a good turnout at the final event to win the interclub cup.
Looking at the cup it has quite a history behind it. It was first competed for as an Interclub competition back in 1948 when Palmerston North won it. Several years it was not competed for, but out of the 37 times that it was competed for up until this year it was won by Wanganui 14 times and they were the current holders having won it 6 times in succession.

A concerted effort by Bike Manawatu riders across the grades saw the club wrestle the interclub trophy away from Whanganui on Saturday at Halcombe.
Many had thought the points differential was unassailable but that was not to be the case when 78 riders from both clubs contested a 23km circuit around Halcombe – Lethbridge – Makino – Stanway Road in sunny but cool conditions. First away were the A graders who were required to complete three laps of course.
