With the disappointing news that the WCNI TTT would be cancelled due to lack of entries the decision was made to continue with the event as a club event. A total of 12 teams registered for the various grades and distances.

Events always need support from volunteers that either help on the start/ finish line and with registration and most importantly out on the course. This event was no exception with a couple of tricky corners that needed marshalls as well as the turn points. With a 16km distance provided for the under 17 and younger riders and a 25km course for the under 19 riders, the course for the 40km open riders was set as the first 16km course followed by the 25km course.

Thanks to the marshalls on the day who had previously advised of their availability to help.  Alison Kinghorn and John Arbuckle capably looked after the intersection of Kaimatarau Rd with Katherine Stannard taking care of the 16km turn at Taikorea Rd and Pete Robson managed the turn at the 25km mark. Chris Croton and Lynley McKenzie looked after the clipboards on the start and finish line and a good team of men acted as holders.

First off the starting rank was the open men teams and although they were started at 3 minute intervals they were all at the end of the first 16km with in a minute of each other. The open mens team consisting of Steve Stannard, Chris Sanson and Nev Weir completed the first 16km in 23 minutes 35 secs which compared very well to the under 17 that included members Campbell Stewart, Robert Stannard, Chris Denholm and Carne Groube that completed the same distance in 23 minutes 40 secs.  

If this had been a WCNI event this time would have set a new record for the under 17 boys. The record is 23 minutes 54 secs and was set in 2007. The under 17 girls would have also set a new record. It is currently held by Levin at 29 mins 4 secs and was set in 2006.
