Smooth and Wrinkly Race
Numbers at the weekends Smooth and Wrinkly ride was somewhat disappointing with only six turning up to the 35km road race and 8km time trial events.
As a concept, combining younger and older riders together into a team has some appeal but on Saturday there were too many wrinkly riders to pair up with the two smooth riders.
Regardless the race went ahead and the strength of the two young riders ( Max Annear Henderson and Kate Stewart) was evident as soon as the small peloton went up the Mangaone Hill Rd heading towards Halcombe, then back to Fielding on Makino Rd. Max, Kate and Tom Pirie secured the quickest time of 1.02.49
Track Season Starts Soon
Did you know the track cycling season is just around the corner? Are you interested in the challenge of riding a bike with only just one gear and no brakes?
Well come along and give it a go at Johnston Park in Feilding. You might be surprised to find out how much fun it is and this is one cycling event that is very spectator friendly.
Here’s some dates that you should pencil in if you want to give track cycling a go and you can even hire a bike from the club. But be aware, bikes are limited – first in best dressed.

Coaching Working Group Survey
Some weeks ago the Coaching and Managers Working Group provided an update to the membership following its second meeting.
While there exists lots of enthusiasm from those who wish to coach, little is understood about the exact needs of the membership.
The working group is obviously keen to learn more about the coaching needs of its riders, the results of which are likely to heavily influence the development of the working group and certainly assist in the determination of its priorities.
You’re invited to let us know what your coaching needs are by completing the survey.
