Did you know that 20 of the top 22 finishers in the Women’s Olympic Road Race raced here in the Manawatu at the NZCT Women’s Tour.
And we put on better weather for them than they got in London!
From the Stuff website:
There’s a party at Simon’s place on December 22, and the whole of New Zealand’s invited.
Simon van Velthooven, who dubbed his Olympic cycling keirin bronze as “the nation’s medal”, went a step further the morning after by issuing an open invitation to his overdue 21st bash at the family farm in Manawatu, between Palmerston North and Feilding
