Below is the points table for the Interclub series.
As mentioned in an Email to all members last week we were behind on points after 3 events and so we needed a good turnout at the final event to win the interclub cup.
Looking at the cup it has quite a history behind it. It was first competed for as an Interclub competition back in 1948 when Palmerston North won it. Several years it was not competed for, but out of the 37 times that it was competed for up until this year it was won by Wanganui 14 times and they were the current holders having won it 6 times in succession.

A concerted effort by Bike Manawatu riders across the grades saw the club wrestle the interclub trophy away from Whanganui on Saturday at Halcombe.
Many had thought the points differential was unassailable but that was not to be the case when 78 riders from both clubs contested a 23km circuit around Halcombe – Lethbridge – Makino – Stanway Road in sunny but cool conditions. First away were the A graders who were required to complete three laps of course.

The D grade riders started first heading up Kimbolton Rd from The Cheltenham Hotel until they reached Kiwitea where they turned left on to Perry Line. The C graders started 5 minutes after the D’s. By the time the D’s were on to McBeth Rd, the C graders had caught them. Fortunately for most of the D graders they were only completing the short distance so when they reached the end of Bryce Rd they turned right and headed back down Kimbolton Rd to Cheltenham.
The B grade headed out from Cheltenham 14 minutes after the D grade with the A grade starting a further 6 minutes behind them. As the C grade headed back from the turn point at Kimbolton, the B grade and A grade bunches were able to see how much of a lead they had on them. They were not able to catch them by the time the first rider crossed the finish line.
The first over the line was Ross Castle, followed by Oiroa Kaihau, Campbell Stewart, Jon Clarke Darcy Ross and Michaela Drummond.
The fastest times of the day went to the A grade bunch of Angus Findlay, Luuk van Wagtendonk, Steve Stannard and Matiu Kaihau.
