Get started! Masters Women Track cycling

Manawatu Women 30 years+ – Want a new cycling challenge? Join our Get-Started-with-Track-Cycling training group and be ready to compete at the NZ Masters Games in Wanganui at the end of January, or just join in and see how it goes!
You can use your road bike or hire one from BikeManawatu if you are a member/join.
The Masters Games have two timed track events, the 500m Time Trial (45-55sec) and 2000m Pursuit (3-5min), so there are no scary bunches, you just ride on your own and compete for medals in 5-year age groups.
Proposed Track training sessions are planned on the Feilding Track, 9am, most Saturdays, but check first. Turn up on the weeks you can!
If you are interested FB message Megan or phone 027 289 3444

 

Track Chit Chat with Ian Gray 5

You can call it the luck of the Irish or whatever good fortune you may wish- in that we have been very lucky, amongst all the adverse windy and often wet weather we have had, that all our club track meets have been held in good weather so far and Tuesday there was no exception.

The nights racing on Tuesday was first rate and the standard and fitness of the riders is the best I have seen at this stage of the track season.

The one lap TT produced some very good times and the top 5 riders who reduced there times from the opening night were:

1st Max Cousins a whopping decrease of 10.18sec

2nd James Gardner 3.85sec

3rd Danielle Rayner 3.29sec

4th James Denholm 2.21sec

5th Pieta Ransom 2.20
