You couldn’t have asked for a better day to hold time trials. And compared to the weather of the previous weekend you would have to wonder if you were even in the same hemisphere. With a balmy 26^0C anticipated it proved to be a warm event and the finish line judges and recorder were blessed with the shade of a large tree to stand in.

Visitor Justin Weir started the proceeding as he was sharing a bike with Dad Nev. He was followed ten minutes later by the under 13s who were completing 8kms.

Next in the starting blocks was the under 15 and under 17's who had to complete 16kms. For those who had chosen to complete the 40km course which included senior and master men 1 and 2 they were sent on their way before being followed for the 25km distance by the under 19s, senior women and the rest of the masters.

Although the day was warm and there was only a breath of wind at 4pm in Palmerston by the time I got out to Kairanga the wind was picking up and the temperature was dropping.

Being tucked away out of the wind inside taking registrations meant that I was completely unaware of how much the wind had picked up by 6pm. And thoughts of doing a PB were dashed.

Thanks to the marvellous helpers who again turn up week after week. Without these people the event would not be able to be run. This week we had Paul Roberts on the turn with Kirsty Kaihau, Denise Brown, Carol Roberts and Dave Bleakley doing the recording. Holding on the start line was Grant Shearman. So a special thank you to you all for your continued support.

A reminder that Club Time trial champs that were postponed last Saturday will be held this Saturday 11th March. Please preregister by sending an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. by Friday 4pm. Please state age group in email.

There has been some clarification over a number of unusual results that have been posted over the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately the record that we thought that had been set by Michaela wasn’t to be as it was actually a DNF as she had a mechanical fault and turned early. So the womens course record now rightfully belongs to Megan Blatchford at 18mins 29sec which Megan matched again this week.
