Road riding behaviour
Comments have come back to the office about the behaviour and etiquette of riders cycling to our events. Can you please ensure you’re following the NZ road rules – we need to set the example of best behaviour in the community.
Also, a reminder about inappropriate language being used during racing – there are young riders on the same course and senior riders need to set an example.

MTB Riding
Donald's Tuesday night MTB rides are back this week. Meet at the MTB car park, ready to ride at 6.30pm. MUST have fully charged lights, and if you’re biking out there, and home afterwards … some form of reflective clothing!
Finally, our most recent international Hayden Strong is certainly riding proud in the Intelligentsia Cup in the US over the past few days, following two second placings he was yesterday sitting at the top of the leader board. Check out the results and event details The 10-day event continues for another five days so go Hayden and smash out some more great finishes – you’ve certainly been on fire with your racing recently!
So again it’s relatively short and sweet today,
Enjoy getting back into the school routine for those it affects and everyone else should just enjoy their week any way.
Keep warm!
