With close to perfect conditions and great form from the Masters Games Jocelyn Goodwin broke her own course record on Wednesday Night at the weekly time-trials. Jocelyn's new course record now stands at 18 mins 37 sec (ave speed 38.7 km/hr), and two new course records in as many months shows that Jocelyn has moved up a level with her performances.
Many other riders also took advantage of the good conditions to post personal bests, with Chris Sanson and Steve Stannard recording 16 min 16 sec and 16 min 18 sec respectively. Current series record holder, Matiu Kaihau didn't ride on Wednesday.

Sunday 20 February saw the first of a club event to cater for as many members as possible. The sunday bunch ride came for coffee to Ashhurst school, the Saturday club race was pushed one day forward to Sunday with start and finish in Ashhurst and the first training/race for school cycling Manawatu kicked off in Ashhurst. Goal to let all members of Bike Manawatu mix and mingle over coffee. Good weather good numbers good coffee from mobile coffee maker Ruanui MacDonald and nice muffins made it in a very enjoyable morning of cycling. Thanks Glenys and Susan.

Here are the results for the club race. Thanks to all the people who put their hands up to help run the event. Turn marshals, sweep wagon, start finish, registration etc. Very much appreciated!
