This week’s club race is number two in our series of handicap races; the Woolworth’s Cup at Halcombe.
It will be two laps of the Halcombe Stanway Tokorangi Circuit, but for those only wanting to complete 1 lap there is that option available but you will be set off a short time after those completing two laps.
This is a mass start and as it is a sealed handicap it may not necessarily be the first person across the line that will be the eventual winner.
Toshi Yamauchi is the race organiser and will be looking for some assistance. Please give him a call or send him an email if you can help.
It’s a great time to start racing again with the weather warming up (fingers crossed!).
Meet at Halcombe village at 1 pm for a 1:30 pm start.
$5 members, $10 non members

Saturday club race – 22Aug
We will adopt a high-quality assured approach in implementing the Local Roading Authority’s/Cycling New Zealand’s ‘Safe Traffic Management System’ (STMS) standards which ensure best practices and rider and spectator safety.
If the level of community funding secured is not sufficient to contract in external road management service providers with the ability to stop/go traffic, the Novice Tour will proceed on a ‘local club racing’ model, whereby our team of trained/experienced road marshals will, where necessary, pause racing in order to give way to traffic and ensure rider safety.
Although funding external road management services with the ability to stop/go traffic is ideal, if this is not feasible – we are confident that the event’s ‘Safe Traffic Management System’ (STMS) will provide a competitive, fair, enjoyable and importantly safe racing environment.
