Welcome to a new year of Racing and Challenges on and off the Bike. Last year we finished off on a high with Trust House series success for our local teams. Already in January we’ve had a solid start to our track season with many Masters joining the juniors at the Velodrome in Feilding. Great results from Wilson Hannon at the Criterium Nations in Christchurch. Solid results from Adam Francis, David Martin, Caleb Bottcher and Carne Groube in the Cycle classic and a good number of Masters competing in the hastily organised SVS tour in the bay.
Locally, with the weather putting a damper the mini series in November, the club has pressed on and has a solid calendar in place for the next 4 months and onwards from there. We start with the Palmfeilds Mazda and Subaru Mini series on Tuesday nights in February. We also have the Wednesday night on our Traffic Management plans in case of weather. We continue with TT’s and longer road racing on Tuesday nights leading up to the end of Daylight saving.
This rolls into WCNI and Club Championships and before you know it we are in May for the Manfeild 6 hour.
While this is going on, The Iconic Races of Taupo Challenge remains in place at this stage while K2 has unfortunately been postponed. Our Juniors will have the opportunity of competing at CHB and Tasman Tours, we’re excited to see TA tour back on the calendar and welcome the Triathlon dates onto our calendar also.
Good luck to our riders at 2 day tour of Wellington this week end in the Wairarapa
Patrick Johnstone was first in D grade (he’s an associate member), Mike Thompson was 3rd in D grade and third in the sprint points. Wayne Fage was 4th in E grade in a really close battle on GC
The full calendar is on our revamped Website which looks fantastic, Many thanks to Vaughan Hunt for his massive input into this.
We welcome back our amazing sponsors, we truly appreciate their on going support.
There will be challenges with the Traffic Light system, but with registration on line and other safeguards put in place with our Health and safety plan we have confidence in our system.
Our November Strava Cycle Challenge is a 13km hilly Time Trial out and back on Kahuterawa Road.
During the month of November Ride the following segment and use Strava to record your data. This Challenge is a Time Trial, so is ridden solo. https://www.strava.com/segments/19523884
To Register
Text your name and age at the 30 November 2021 to 027 2893444 . By doing so, you have confirmed you have read the safety information below.
There is also the “Have-A-Go” Challenge for newcomers, former cyclists, and non-cyclists. This is on the same course. But has different rules – you can ride with someone, and you don’t need to use Strava.
We still wanted to offer our riders a great event so here we are – gather your mates from your local club and come along for a great race.
