The Bike Manawatu Pursuit Club Championships are schduled for this Saturday. The early timing of these is due to getting them in before the Elite/U19 national Championships. To suit both the athletes attending these championships and the agegroup athletes the decision has been made to only hold the Elite/U19 agegroups this Saturday and we will hold the agegroups at a date closer to their national Champs.
Elite/U19 riders please enter for Saturday by emailing Kate Stewart- k8.stewart@hotmail.com

Entries close 6pm Thursday 22 January. If there is not sufficient entries the event will be readvised whether it is worth holding.

Following the Xmas break Trackies have had a lot of racing with 3 meetings. The first was the Elite/U19 Selection meeting at Wanganui in which we saw some good racing and nearly all Bike Manawatu Track riders performed with distinction.
The riders that stood out were, an excellent 3:39 3000m pursuit by Campbell Stewart on a windy track, and 11.61s and 11.67s by Liam Brown and Campbell Stewart respectively in the flying 200m. Joel Yates on his first ride on the track this season acquainted himself very well in the U19 men pursuit team and looked very fit, taking strong laps. Congrats to all riders who made the WCNI team for the Elite/U19 Nationals in Cambridge.
Club Racing Last week:
Another good night of racing and undoubtedly the most exciting race was the 8 lap U15’s handicap. At the announcement of the handicaps the riders eyes suddenly lit up when $10.00 was to be given to the winner.
