Once again the Hawkes Bay Ramblers Cycling Club held another very successful HUB tour in Hastings on 13-15 January 2012.
The Hawkes Bay weather turned on a beautiful hot weekend but the winds were a test of courage and commitment to most as the prologue started on Friday night with very strong north westerly gusts.
There were many riders winning top ten positions in the 6km prologue (or time trial), but with the win of over 40 seconds to Kate Stewart in the U17 girls race was the most impressive win of the night. Coming in close behind was Ruby Perry finishing 3rd in the U17 girls prologue. George Roberts also finished exceptionally well in the prologue coming 7th in the U17 boys grade, with Matiu Kaihau finished 13th in his first A-Grade prologue. Kelsi Eccles was in great form over the weekend winning two stages of the B-Grade Women’s races earning the huge privilege of wearing the yellow jersey.

The working group’s aim has been to deliver a series of presentations to enhance our knowledge of cycling.
Associate Professor Steve Stannard was the first presenter who discussed nutrition for cycling.
The next event on the calendar for the working group in 2012 is an open invitation to the membership on core strength which is to be delivered by Kim Findlay on the 13 Feb 12 starting at 7pm. This presentation aims at demonstrating practical exercises that will strengthen your core specifically for cycling. There is no cost to participate so members are encouraged to take full advantage of this opportunity.
Also in Feb 12, we plan to coordinate another session for those new to the sport, especially school age children and their parents. We want to tackle issues regarding restrictive gearing, training and riding safely.
Other opportunities to impart knowledge and advice have also been identified and these will be advertised accordingly.
