Postponement of this Saturday’s Club Race
The club road race for Saturday (21 Feb) is scheduled for Ashhurst to Highland home and return. However, the School’s Cycling Camp is also on this weekend engaging most local young riders and a number of older riders.
Rather than suffer from a depleted field in a graded race (which can get rather lonely if you get dropped), we will postpone this race for the time being.
Wed Night TT 25Feb
Another fine evening for the Bike Manawatu Wed Night TT, but a little more wind than the previous week.
A total of 40 starters for the evening and some good times posted. Alex West pipped Robert Stannard by one second for fastest time.
Others to post impressive times were Mitchell Kinghorn and Carne Groube. Tom Pirie and Nicholas Tuck did best season times, and in the women, Gabbie Bahler rode under 20 min.
Good also to see some new riders there.
