Some exciting news is happening for Manawatu at the Invercargill Velodrome for the Oceania Track Champs 2012 being held this week.
Local track cyclists from Manawatu are bringing in medals and NZ National records with outstanding efforts and huge commitment to their teams and some exceptional individual efforts have paid off for Simon van Velthooven and Jesse Sergent, both winning gold in their races last night.
to everyone riding Taupo this weekend… especially Colin (Wal) Andersen who pushed off on Wednesday for a mere 8 laps!
If your aren’t riding, but you know someone riding, live video streaming from around the course and searchable results will be available on the day at www.cyclechallenge.com
All financial members of Bike Manawatu are invited to the Massey marquee for some after race chit chat and to catch up with your fellow Manawatu riders.
Weather conditions for the ride are… in a word… Windy! Bike Manawatu flags will be flying.
According to an email I received, online entries for Taupo close this Saturday…
“Hurry, online entries close this Saturday, 19th November. Enter here”
A good sized crowd turned up to hear Associate Professor and Bike Manawatu board member Steve Stannard address on nutrition for cycling.
Steve, who works at Massey University, pitched what can be a very complex subject in very simple terms for all ages to understand. In doing so he dispelled a number of myths regarding cycling nutrition that was very useful.
