We are very fortunate to have Dan Pitchforth, at McDonalds Feilding and Taihape behind track cycling for a second consecutive season.
At the end of each road bikes on track and track racing each week, a rider will be awarded a Big Mac voucher and a drink bottle. What better reward then a stop into McDonalds in Feilding on your way home from track? We think it is well deserved!
Get amongst it team!
