I am just writing to thank you for the donation you made to help me get to Canberra in Australia and perform at the best I possibly could. Firstly we flew to Auckland to meet the rest of the NZ team, then we flew to Sydney and drove to Canberra that day. Finally we reached our destination at 12pm. We stayed at the Australian Institute of Sport. We each got our own rooms.
Thursday and Friday were my days to relax and do a couple of training rides. We had a look around the city and the routes that the races were to be on.

Team Stannard/Bamford was far too strong when they walked away with first place by just over a minute and a half from their nearest rival (Team Stewart/Finlay) that contained three NZ age group representatives in the inaugural Bike Manawatu “Bone Collector” race held on the 31st of July in Ashhurst. On a stunning Manawatu day many riders relished the near perfect mid winter conditions to ride. The brainchild of Ian Gray and the events working group, six riders were required to make up a team with restrictions being placed on the age of riders and their start positions.
