It is relentless and never seems to give up. Fortunately some of our riders never give up either and even seem to be encouraged and go faster in the wind. Or perhaps they were just going faster so they could get out of it sooner. Whatever the case some good and not so good times were recorded for the keen riders that turned up to Kairanga. And it was even more encouraging to see some riders coming out for the first time for this series.
Thanks as always go to the helpers on the night. Bernie is doing a marvellous job on the turn each week, although I did have to comment to him that the cone was a lot further out this week.
New helpers on the start line are always welcome and Dileep with the help of Louise and a couple of others did a great job mastering new tasks.

Translation “trophy of the wind and climber”. Well that is what it will be for this year for the brave and hearty that tackled the course today.
From my vantage point at the finish line I had a lovely view after first clearing branches from the road down across the river to spy on the riders as they returned on the shortened course from Highland Home.

We’ve all been there… a group ride gets into trouble because one or more in the riders can’t sustain the pace of the bunch.
In a race, the slower riders drop off and the bunch carries on. But what should happen on a club recreational ride?
Should the bunch slow and protect the slower riders? Should the slower riders recognise that they probably chose the wrong group and drop off to find their own way home?

Dear fellow cyclists
In March of next year the inaugural Pedal the Plateau ride will take place – a 365 km recreational cycling tour of the beautiful Central Plateau region of the North Island.
We are looking to develop Pedal the Plateau into an iconic, world-famous ride, along the same lines as the famous Great Vic in Australia.
We have many Australian cyclists participating in next year’s ride, but would also like to generate some support locally.
We’re wondering if you would mind circulating this email to you members? We’d love to have more Kiwis along for the ride and perhaps some of your members or their family and friends may be interested?
