INDIVIDUAL TIME TRIAL
DATE: Completed Saturday 7th November 2015
Beautiful weather this Saturday got everyone blowing the cobwebs off their time trial shoes and coming down to Lockwood Loop for a blast! The wind, true to form, remained the main obstacle to record times – with a nasty headwind on the way out giving way to a roaring tailwind on the way home, with many juniors running out of either cogs or leg speed on the way back. Fastest time of the day over 15km was set by Stephen Snell in 22:40, while Alex West was fastest over 25km in a time of 33:51. A big thanks to all those who helped out, especially Steph Dench, Mike Groube, Graeme Ransom and Tim Lloyd.
HILL CLIMB
DATE, ENTRY DETAILS & LOCATION
Bike Manawatu is holding the Club Hill Climb Championships on Saturday 14th November 2015 from 1.30 PM with the course now up Valley Road.
This late change has had to be made because the Ashhurst – Saddle Road climb has about 1 km being reformed making it unsafe for a cycling event. Acting on club members warnings another inspection of the Saddle Road was made this week and the decision was made to move the event climbing up Valley Road Hill starting at 1.30 PM, i.e. same start time.
