Latest Results: Road Points Series

03/06/10 - Cycling Southland’s 2010 Teretonga Schools’ Cycling Points Series is underway with 26 aspiring track and road cyclists having competed over the last two weeks. The series, to be held every Wednesday is aimed at fostering new cycling talent on the road in a safe environment and providing a midweek training workout for more experienced riders.

On Wednesday a one-lap time trial blowout was held, followed by a Division 1 and Div 2 scratch race. During the warm up the experienced riders took those less experienced around the track and showed them how it was done.  The Time Trial featured great rides by Josh Haggerty, completing his lap in 3 minutes 55 seconds, the fastest time of the day. Debutant rider Noah Knol blitzed around the circuit, missing out on the Division 2 Time Trial by a solitary second from pocket rocket Hamish Beadle.

The times from the time trial helped give organisers an idea on the start to give riders in the following scratch races, a sealed handicap. This meant the stronger riders had to break away in order to overcome their handicap .The Division 2 race was again taken by Noah Knol with other great rides from newcomers Liz Reid and Laura Heywood.
A great ride from Jeremy Presbury saw him take the sealed handicap in Division 1 holding out the scratch riders Josh Haggerty and Paddy Daly. Jen Muhl pipped Kate Dunlevey for third and first woman home. This was a continuation of Jen’s great form and showed why she is the defending champion.
