Kairanga Time Trial 10 February 2026

It was a beautiful summer evening yesterday for the 17 riders and our amazing volunteers at Kairanga.
💚 Firstly, a huge THANK YOU to our volunteers Sam and Laura Richardson for running the timing, Tim Lloyd for traffic management, and Alastair Cadzow, David Peel and Rachel O’Dea!
Congratulations to Liam O’Dea and Rory Hutchinson on breaking the following course records:
🎉 Liam took almost 20sec off the previous record for 14 year old boys set by Robert Stannard in 2012. Liam’s time was a blistering 17:37.6!
🎉 Rory is now the course record holder for 10 year old boys with a fantastic time of just 24:42!
It was great to see riders of all ages turn up last night. Special mention also to George Skinner who was fastest overall, Aylish Underwood who was flying on the 24km course, and new rider Jakob Abernethy who did amazing on the long course as well.
Next up is a graded Road Race on the A1 Loops course on Tuesday 24th February. Event details and registration can be found here: https://www.webscorer.com/register?raceid=419333

Kairanga Time Trial 7 October 2025

We commend the nine hardy riders who braved the wind and the rain at last night’s time trial at Kairanga!!! Highlights include Annemarie, Aylish and Andy pushing through 2 laps in tough conditions, and the fact that the majority of the field were female riders, with three of them from the Peel family.

A huge Thank You goes out to our volunteers on the night: Jonny and David Peel, Ross O’Dea, Sam and Laura Richardson for running the timing, and Tim Lloyd for setting everything up.

Results can be viewed HERE

Next up is a Graded Road Race on the A1 Loops circuit, to be held on Tuesday 21st October with entries opening later this week.

Kairanga Mothers Day ITT

Solid turn out to the Kairanga ITT on Mothers day. There was a 24 km option available which was contested by 4 riders with Jaro setting the bench mark of 36.29.

32 riders tackled the 12km out and back with Winston Briggs fastest on the day with a 16.49. The easterly breeze catching a few riders out on the way home.

Great to see so many families turning up and competing or volunteering, cementing the fact that cycling is a sport for all ages.

Fantastic news came from Manawatu District Council with our successful application for funding to support our Traffic Management application costs.

Every plan we submit has a price tag for processing and now , with the successful funding application done by Janina, we can now return to the $10 entry fee for all adults.

Every club is always finding ways to navigate the financial obstacles and Bums on seats as well as higher memberships are critical.

Taonui Loops on Sunday, weather is looking ok at this stage. Enter if you are available and if the race is cancelled due to weather the fee is carried over, unfortunately the TMP application is still absorbed.

Manfeild 6 hour the week after. This time next week we will be praying for fine weather
