Huge thanks to Sam and Andy Richardson with Laura and Holly who ran the timing and results today.

Liam and Ross O’Dea, Shohn Wormgoor for marshalling, and Jonathon Hannon for SAG wagon with Phil Riley.

Highlights of the morning include Xavier Ireland winning D grade, our PNBHS lads leading home A grade, Karl McKellar winning B grade with Thomas Stannard making a welcome return.

The mentoring of junior riders by our adults is really gathering momentum to solidify our mission statement of being a family based club. Great to have John Stewart out doing this with David Peel, Paul Koot and many others.

Next Sunday 20th July we are running a ITT/TTT  out Makino Road. Jeremy Rowe set a competitive marker a few weeks ago when we added the ITT section to our Road race so the benchmark has been set.

Kapiti Cycling Club have the first race of their Winter Series next Saturday 19th as a warm up: https://www.kapiticyclingclub.co.nz/

Going forward could everyone please have front and rear lights on all rides and races. Thank You!

Have a great week!

It was great to see Ellen Twiss travel up all the way from Wellington, and Graham Hall from Whanganui!

Next weekend 28-29 June we are not running a local event due to the North Island Schools Championships being held in Cambridge. Today was a great opportunity for our Schools teams to practice for the TTT event next weekend. We wish all Manawatu Schools riders an amazing time and experience racing against tough competition from across the North Island!

Our next event will be Cheltenham to Kimbolton on Sunday 13 July, last day of the school holidays. Details and registration link will be posted on our Facebook page and website calendar shortly.
