A threatening sky a cool track and a westerly wind ensured that track records would be difficult to break tonight. The pursuit is a solo ride over distance with the aim to build up to race pace then hold that pace to the end. An event that requires special self discipline as there is nowhere to hide.
While the prize money for broken records was secure in the Bike Manawatu vault the $25 rookie prize for a first year track rider for setting a time closest to a current record was awarded to Ruby Perry.
