So good to see such a strong turn out last night for our Club Scratch Race Championships. You all rode with grit, determination & heart to make it such an enjoyable evening. The meeting was made even more special with the incomparable Jack Overweel breaking Campbell Stewart‘s previous Under 15 Boys, 500m TT Held Start record of 38.8, & setting a new record time of 37.08. From all of us Jack, we congratulate you on such an epic display of sprinting. Our meetings are nothing without our “Track Angels” who take care of everyone, our parents & supporters who do a great deal in getting all our riders ready, & our committee members who help put it all together. I can only see great things in the future for our club, sincerest regards

2019–1001- 4 Days In
We are 4 days, 580 kms and over 6000 metres of climbing in to our 7 day, 1001 km and nearly 9000 metres of elevation adventure, and so far it’s been a blast.
Day 1 saw us leave from the Bike Barn in Palmerston North in 3 riding groups, full of anticipation for a great trip. Our support vehicle supplied by Garry Buys of Bike Barn is driven by Neil Vertogen and his wife Jayne – both of whom we can’t thank enough for not only their roadside assistance, but also their help with logistics upon arrival at our destinations – you guys have been amazing – thanks from the whole team.
We headed over the Pahiatua Track, through Mangamaire and Eketahuna, stopping at the wildlife sanctuary for a drink and something to eat. After leaving here, we encountered rain and a nagging headwind (that was to become our faithful companion), and arrived at Carterton for lunch.
By the time we left Carterton, the rain had stopped, but the headwind hadn’t. We travelled on to Featherston and climbed the Rimutaka Hill road in to Upper Hutt, and on to Wellington. Along the way we were treated to some pretty amazing views of the Manawatu, wairarapa and Wellington regions.
We were met by the van at the Intercontinental Hotel in Wellington, where we were able to shower up before having dinner, while they laundered our riding kit. After dinner at the Greenman Pub, we headed to the ferry to board and fund our cabins for the overnight sailing to Picton.
