Mid Winter Break from Racing for Seniors.

by | Jun 7, 2012 | Archive(News)

We are having  a mid-winter break from club racing, but things will get back to full-swing in July – the new race calendar is to be released soon.

The program for racing will be split into seasons, at the present point in time the school aged members are having a lot of racing as they build up to the North Island and National school champs. 

And as the school racing scene draws to a close at the end of term 3, the recreational rides around the country kick off.

So to align with this the senior racers will be gearing up with some club racing starting in July that will build up to the events that are held around the country starting with the Feilding Festival of Cycling which this year is to be held on Saturday 15th and Sunday  16th September.

The Time Trial NZ Idea

The Time Trial NZ Idea

TT[1]

There is a new concept in time trialling currently being trialled and tested around NZ.  It is based on having a number of 15km TT courses that cyclist’s can ride whenever they choose and post their times on a website.

This would be be categorised by gender, age group categories with a tandem and 2-up rider option.

The benefits being, it provides a training and competitive option over winter as many clubs don’t run events and would be a non-threatening pathway to encourage people to get into cycling.

The idea has started to gain interest and support with a website set up http://timetrial.co.nz/

To date, two courses have been set up to trial this idea, one in Palmerston North and Otaki ,with more being added around the country in coming weeks.

One of the criteria for a course was that it didn’t use a regular cycling club TT course as this is concept is intended to compliment rather than compete with existing cycling club courses.

If anyone is interested in riding a course, check out the following links.
