Hi everyone and welcome to May and the start of Term 2,

As we head into the leafy downpours and shorter days, it still does not mean things are slowing down in the world of cycling in the south with plenty coming up again to think about.

Cycling is in Tony McAra's blood.

But the 65-year-old's days on a bike came to a sudden halt while he was giving up his time for the sport he loves.

Entries for the popular Crowe Horwath Corporate Pursuit are filling fast as the close off date looms for potential businesses to enter this unique event.  With entries closing on Wednesday 7 May over half the capacity field for the annual Cycling Southland event have filled.
