Another Tuesday of another week team – where do they go!

Huge congrats to pilot Laura Thompson and her tandem stoker Emma Foy on their two silvers at the Para-cycling World Road Cup in Germany over the weekend

The New Zealand Para-Cycling team has battled through extreme heat to claim two silver medals at the Para-Cycling Road World Cup in Germany.

In bright spring ( nearly!!) sunshine, 43 eager riders lined up to rip into the north easterly zephyr of a breeze at Lorneville on Saturday.

Southland team pursuit cyclist Pieter Bulling has returned from his training in Europe to prepare for the World Cup in December.

Cyclist Nicole Shields spent part of the school holidays training at the velodrome in Invercargill.

Hi folks,

Well any signs of spring or even slightly temperate conditions are still being elusive so it’s wrap up and carry on as usual.

This is an invitation to our next Connecting Coaches Workshop. As a very high percentage of the coaches enrolled in the Connecting Coaches group stated Nutrition and Hydration was an area that they would like to have some PD opportunities.

Greetings everyone,

Well it’s pretty invigorating with all this sub-zero frosts overnight recently – no easing into the days slowly – you just have to get moving! 

It's official - our grand master of the track has got his New Zealand one hour record!

The sun kept shining as 2 Divisions split in 4 teams set off on their 48km journey at Waianiwa. Division one took off like rockets and maintained a fast pace throughout the whole race. Brendan Akeroyd was the most aggressive and was chased down by Geoff van Dam.

Another successful year of achievements was celebrated by members of the cycling fraternity at the Cycling Southland annual prizegiving awards last night.

New Zealand cyclist Eddie Dawkins grabbed a notable scalp when the track sprint team competed in the Grand Prix of Poland at the weekend.

Good crispy morning from a very white and chilly Deep South today!

The snow and sleet came big time last night and then it tried to freeze so a bit of a slippery drive in this morning. Well it’s prizegiving and AGM time looming so let’s get cracking into it all.

Road racing off to a good start at Rimu.
Nice to see good numbers along, always nice to see more.

Well done to our crew who ventured to Christchurch late last week to take on the annual Secondary Schools South Island Road Championships.
