Hello everyone and welcome to the week that is the eve of Age Group Track Nationals – very exciting and with more than 220 riders it is going to be an epic week as Team Southland battle to retain the Points Shield for the record 9th year!
We stand in a good place heading in with a 17 point advantage so in the final week of lead-in we wish all our rider reps good health, focus and a balance of rest and training for the 9-13 March event.

Cycling Southland marks 10 years of the SIT Zero Fees Velodrome this year and we want to hear what you think and what you’d like the club to be doing.
Please click on this link - show me the survey – and spend a few minutes (we reckon seven minutes tops, depending on how quickly you can type) to complete the survey and we’ll put you in the draw to win a track concession card.
So it’s short and sweet again this week as we get down to the business end of things for the next main event. So keep the training in form Team Southland and all the best for the final build up.
