The Rock n road cycling club received their shipment of new, emblazoned, cycling shorts last week. Christina was the driving force behind this project with funds gratefully received from local pub charity. There was still a small amount to pay for the shorts but they are a real bargain, top quality and have the clubs logo printed on them. If you haven’t picked up your shorts get in quick.
The shorts match the vest made last year and the aim is to get the club recognized when its members are involved in events around the country. Also in preparation for the coming season there is to be a ‘training event’ ride on the 8th of October.
This ride will take riders the full loop to Mananui, National park and back to Tokaanu. A ride that is comparable in length and difficulty to many one day events around the country. The riders will determine the distance they will ride depending on what they are training for.
There has been much interest from Taumaranui riders who are training for their event later in October and the lake Taupo cycle challenge. It is expected to have several teams and at lest a few individuals. The legs are set up in such a way that anyone could ride at least one of the legs so we are hoping to get a good turnout of our local cyclist.
The pre ride briefing is to be held at the Tokaanu Water sports centre and riders will meet their after completing the ride.
Also on the calendar have been rides at Craters of the moon, and a trip from Tree trunk gorge to town, which was really enjoyable despite the rain. Next month there is a ride planned to Pureora forest to ride a new track that has opened recently.
At our last meeting we received tales from France from our 2 riders who followed Le Tour this year. We look forward to the photos and more stories soon.
