Our BM road race on Saturday is the first of three inter club races with Wanganui Cycling Club.
There is an inter club trophy up for grabs, so it’d be great to see a good turnout from BM riders.
Meet at Ashhurst Library at 1 pm for a 1:30 pm start. Entry fee is $10 for all riders, as this is an inter club race.
We are doing the 13 km Ulysses Rd circuit (up Pohangina Rd, left into Ulysses, left again into Watershed, then back down to Ashhurst via Colyton Rd).
A Grade will do 5 laps; B Grade 4 laps, C grade 3 and if we have enough D grade riders, they will do 2 laps.
There is a 2 km gravel section, all up hill, so don’t ride your best carbon wheels.
See you there!

Brent Ellery was a special man, filled with a passion for his family, a passion for life and a passion for cycling.
Many of you will remember Brent when he came to our Saturday club races, decked out in his warm winter jackets, even through the warmest summer months. Brent loved his cycling and for me, it was always a pleasure to see his smiling face, always willing to end a helping hand or to sweep the track.
Brent and his wife, Cecile, and their two girls Samantha and Kate all played a huge part of Bike Manawatu, both with their strong racing accolades and for the many hours they all put in behind the scenes organizing races and marshalling on the corners. They are an incredible family.

We all think sport and exercise is good for us, and the more the better. But there are some unique risks facing female athletes, particularly for those girls and women whose dietary intake does not cover their energy expenditure. The University of Waikato is bringing together experts in female health for a two-day symposium that solely focuses on the health and wellbeing in female athletes.
