The Summer Series

This a series of informal races that takes place every Tuesday night during daylight saving time at 6pm from Park Road in Waikanae.  It runs on a handicap system so it's aimed at absoluteley everyone - from complete novices to guns.  It's 35km which is 10 laps of a 3.5km course. 

Points are awarded for showing up (consistancy pays off) and how well you do - and prizes are awared at the end of the season.

 It's a great introduction to the club.  You don't have to be a club member to get involved - you just need to register for the night (you can do this 3 times before our insurers require you to become a club member which includes the appropriate licence) .  Don't worry if you're not the fastest - everyone has to start somewhere - and if you stick with it you will improve quickly.  The beauty of the handicap system is that there is generally bunches of riders at every level - so you won't be on your own. 

Training Rides

These are not formal club organised events - however many of our club members meet to train together at various times every week:

Weekends

8am Saturday and Sunday (9am in Winter).  Leaving from outside Robert Harris coffee shop at the back of Coastlands.  The route is not always the same - but generally heads north towards Otaki - staying off SH1 as much as possible.  There are plenty of options on this ride for heading back early.   The Saturday rides are around 60-70km and the Sunday rides 100km+.  Both of these rides are pretty flat.   

8am Saturday and Sunday (9am in Winter).  A faster group leaves from Paraparaumu and heads off on a 100km loop across to the Hutt Valley via Paekakariki hill and returning via the Akatarawas.  If you like hills - then this is the ride for you.

We also have a bunch called the 60/40's that is an more social group.  The aim is to travel around at a pace of about 26-28km/hr.   The ride leaves from outside Robert Harris coffee shop at the back of Coastlands at 8:00am, just after the other group above has gone.   This is a Great ride to introduce people to the sport and the benefits of bunch riding.  

Weekdays

There is a group that heads off from the Raumati Fish Supply in Raumati Village on Thursday mornings at 8am.

Road Racing

The club hosts a couple of road races through the summer season.  These races have several different levels of entry - so there is something to suit all levels of rider.  Check out the Events/Results pages for more details.
