Howdy all

After a successful series of Time Trials - next week we return to road racing - on a brand spanking new course.

We're out at Peka Peka for 4 laps of a 10km circuit.  For those who were worried about this - it's not the same course as the TT - it's completely outside the Waikanae township - and heads up to close to the main road.  Click here  and scroll down to the 2nd page to see the map that shows the details of the course.

Its a course that has a small rise in the middle which should be good to test ourselves on.

So start is on Paetawa road in Peka Peka - and the normal procedures prior to the race still apply.  

 

  • Register early from 5:30
  • You must wear your race number.  
  • And if you want to be recorded in the results - have your timing tag on the front fork.  (timing tags are available to those that don't have (you'll need some cash)
  • It's a handicapped race - with the first group away at 6pm sharp - and progressively faster groups leaving at intervals after that.
At that time of night - this stretch of road is very quiet and free of buses.
 
Big thanks to Greg Cundy who's driven this idea and put a lot of time into organising it and putting together the traffic management plan with help from Chris Blackford.
 
Should be a fantastic night.  
 
See you there...
 
Adrian.

Thanks, from my point of view, for a great circuit and all the hard work involved. The turn arounds made life interesting in our group of four bikes (five riders), wish I could have seen how the larger groups tackled them.
