Gidday everyone and hope you’re all managing to keep warm!

First and foremost a huge thank you to all the willing volunteers who spent a couple of hours of their personal time at the Velodrome on Saturday arvo to help tidy up our track bike fleet for the Corporate Pursuit – hugely appreciated thank you all!! This Friday it’s our Cycling Southland 10th Anniversary Corporate Pursuit Time Trials night (so there will be no Junior Racing this week sorry). Trials kick off at 6pm and spectator entry is only a gold coin donation so head on down and cheer them along. Thank you to all the willing volunteers, view the marshals and officials list for both days here we’re still short of a few people so please let me know if you can lend a hand on either day. All officials and marshals are to wear our SIT Zero fees Velodrome blue shirts so please collect one from me at the office before Friday if you haven’t got one already.

Tonight’s Heat 3 of Lone Star-Speights Roller Racing is: Steve Rhodes Feature Cars, Frewza Boats/Southland Car & Commercial Painters, Crowe Horwath, Ricoh Southland, Opus International Consultants – head along to the Lone Star and cheer them on from 7pm!
