Campell Stewart rode in the men’s pursuit team were fifth fastest to qualify and did well to avoid a crash finishing 0.8s off qualifying for the bronze medal ride. Michaela Drummond was yet to ride when this reports written.

Colin Anderson wins Two Golds at Masters Games
Colin Anderson seems to get fitter and more determined it seems. Winning gold in the time trial and road race at last week’s New Zealand Masters Games would suggest he is on a roll. Watch out everyone there are more events coming up. Congratulations Colin on your great achievement from us all at Bike Manawatu.
