Feilding Track Records as at 19 October 2016

 Click here to view and/or download the Feilding Track records, as at 19 October 2016.

Conditions to break a record…

-Must be at Johnston Park, Feilding.

-Rider must be in correct age category, as at 31st December.

–Three watches must successfully record the ride, with the middle watch being the official time.

-Gearing restrictions apply to U15 (6.00m) and U17 (7.00m).

When to break a record…

Most records are broken at the club track Championships (500m Time Trial, 200m flying, Individual Pursuit) during racing at the start of 2016. They can also be broken at track meets on Sunday afternoon when timed events are in the programme, these are often 1 lap time trials and flying laps. In this situation please notify the race manager if you want three watches on the time incase you are close to the record. Sometimes if the conditions are good Ian offers people to express interest in breaking a record and a few people test themselves against the clock. If you have your sights set on one that is not a championship event the best thing is to express your interest to Ian at track.

The next step is West Coast North Island records (often broken at WCNI Championships in Wanganui), then National and World Championship records. 

We hope this helps! If you have any questions email Kate (k8.stewart@hotmail.com) or talk to Ian at track.

Track Cycling Pre-registrations

by | Oct 16, 2016 | Track Cycling

Register online for track HERE.

BikeManawatu track and road bikes on track racing starts on Monday October 24th (Labour day). This year you can register online for the season, so that at your first track meet all that is required is for you to sign the wavier form, pay ($20 cash for the whole season) and in return you will receive your season number, which will hopefully speed up the registration process.

PRE-REGISTRATIONS CLOSE AT 10AM ON MONDAY 24 OCTOBER 2016. If you miss this deadline you can register before racing at the track. If you are planning on racing with us this season but do not plan to be at the first track meet please still register online (takes less than 5 minutes, just make sure you have your CyclingNZ licence number handy if you have one).

All information is considered confidential, but in registering you agree that your contact information may be shared between organisers if required.

If you have any track administration issues please contact Kate Stewart (k8.stewart@hotmail.com).
