Good morning to you all!
It’s an early yarn today to remind all potential Corporate Pursuit Business teams to get your entries in today if you don’t want to miss out on going into the Early Bird draw to win your entry fee back!
If you have not yet confirmed your team members you can still fill out the form online and just put a ‘tbc’ beside rider names and contact details as this is too good an opportunity to be missed. Jump in here and register online now and you can check out other details and key dates there as well. We are again looking forward to some mighty fine competition on the boards again this year so don’t miss out.
Free Track Session for Corporate Pursuiters
A reminder that there will be another fully coached free track session for those wanting to take part this year. This is for beginners or a refresher for those who have ridden before and will be held this Thursday 14 April from 6-8pm so head along to give the track a whirl.

This Saturday is the last hit out before the Road Nationals with a double stage race from Riverton to Tuatapere and back – the morning race is 9.30am sign on for a 10am start and the afternoon stage will start an hour after the last morning riders are in. Junior Division 2 and 3 grades also have an afternoon race option.

The Southland road jerseys will be arriving in the office imminently so ensure you pick one up before heading away next week.
