Cycling Report

The holiday season has passed and the local Rock N Road cycling group have got back into there schedule of rides over both local tracks and roads.

Darrel and Jose have updated their Bikes and are aiming towards the Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge and there are many of the club members entering the round Ruapehu Ride in early February so there have been strong turnouts for the recent road rides including around Rotoaire which is a lovely and testing ride . Also We have Roger Bates training for the upcoming Wellington to Auckland race in February as well.

The club has also had several off road rides including the Pylon Track and Kiko Road with something for everyone if riding a bike is our thing. We hear of a cycling club forming in Taumaranui and look forward to meeting up and riding with them this year.

January is the start of the clubs financial year so reminding members that their annual subs ($20 senior $25 Family) are due now. Contact John at Plateau Cycles for more information.

The Club also meets monthly at the Sports Foundation headquaters to plan future happenings and the direction the club is going and any new projects we have. A recent example is the new emblazoned Shorts that have been a real hit with the riders. Thanks Particularly to Christina who ran the project. Combined with the previous vest the club stands out in the crowd.



Safe riding
