It is fast approaching – that time of year when we are holding club champs for all age groups. We will be holding the individual time trial champs at Rongotea on Saturday 3rd March.
There are different course lengths depending on age group. Each rider will be set off at 30 second intervals, but where it differs to Wednesday night time trials is that we have age groups riding one after the other so you cannot just arrive on the scene and go when it is your turn. A start list will be prepared the night before so it is imperative that you preregister.
Last year we had 64 riders registered.
Under 13 girls /boys Distance 8kms
Under 15 & under 17 girls /boys Distance 16kms
Under 19 women /men Distance 25kms
Senior/under 23 men /women Distance 40kms
Masters women/men Distance 25kms
You can register either by phoning me at at Sport Manawatu 357 5349 and leaving a message if I am not in the office.
Or send an email to me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
You must be a financial member to be eligible for the cups and medals.
These will be awarded at the AGM and prizegiving that will be held on Thursday 26th April
Also on 31st March is club road champs.

Palmerston North cyclist Simon van Velthooven won the overall World Cup title in the kilo time trial at the UCI World Cup in London Saturday.
He finished third in the time trial but it was enough to win the overall honours after his second place in Cali, Columbia, his win at Beijing and third in London. He was 16th fastest in the opening lap but the fastest in the field over the middle 500m and came home solidly.
In the final of his preferred Keirin event however, van Velthooven slumped to sixth place with Great Britian's Chris Hoy winning it.
