As promised by the people that dish out good and bad luck, today was a great day for Team Southland! A few of us were up bright and early for breakfast (some quieter than others according to the U19 boys!) and this early breakfast crew made up the first van load out to Waipawa for the day of Time Trials.

Cycling Southland was in the medals on the opening day of racing at the 2012 Club Road Nationals. Laura Heywood (left), Sophie Williamson, Jenn Muhl, Laura Thompson, Phillipa Gray and Kylie Young all found themselves standing on the podium today. 

If bad luck comes in threes, we have definitely had our lot and the horizon is looking much brighter for us from here on in! Great timing considering it’s Time Trial day tomorrow and everything will theoretically be going our way!
