The RICOH Legends of Cycling dinner on January 28 in Auckland next year will be the highest profile gathering of world famous cycling identities ever seen in New Zealand with organisers saying it will also be a celebration of all things cycling.

Featuring one of the greatest cyclists of all time American Greg LeMond, a three time Tour de France winner and two time world champion, the international voice of cycling Phil Liggett and New Zealand’s most successful professional cyclist Julian Dean, the RICOH legends of Cycling Dinner is being hosted by SKYCITY.

“It’s so exciting,” John McKenzie from the media & events company organising the event, enthuse says. “We feel very privileged to be able to bring some of the biggest names in cycling to New Zealand for a gala function. We have had such positive and encouraging support for the concept with some great sponsors on board that really share our passion and enthusiasm for the event; there’s no doubt it’s really going to be something very special and a real celebration of cycling.”

From Kim Anderson:

Thanks so much to the clubs that provided feedback for Mondays meeting, provoked some great discussion! Feedback from meeting will follow shortly.

Now that we have been provided with confirmed dates for Age Group Track Nationals, we (Lisa Horn and I) would like to look at securing some accommodation. To this end – obviously – we need some expressions of interest from riders planning on taking part and we need to know if they would like accommodation with the team.

So,

Age Group Track Nationals
