ITT Hiwinui circuit Sunday 13 May brought the Bike Manawatu school cycling riders to Hiwinui school for a individual time trial. The course was the Hiwinui circuit approx 17 km long and undulating from start to finish. Especialy very tough for the first years in the group. 37 riders decided to tackle the ITT. Some good times. Fastest time Jaycob Humphreys 29min 42 seconds. Most impressive ride Max Cousins. He rode more or less a similar time as 2 weeks earlier at the Colyton ITT. That course is slightly shorter and easier to ride. To put Max’s progress in perspective it took most riders at least 9 minutes longer to complete the Hiwinui circuit. So great effort Max!! A big thanks to the huge crowed of helpers very much appreciated and a special thanks to Carol who compiled the results. Results in full click here |
Results 6 May Akers road Sunday morning 6 may Linton School. Beautiful weather a great bunch of keen school riders and their support are assembled. Today’s activity a  Cand D grade on their way. Photo Jan Arbuckleroad race on the Akers road circuit a nice flat 7.2 km loop. Riders were divided in 3 grades. A grade 5 laps, B grade 4 laps and a combined C and D grade 2 laps. The 12 men strong A grade was thinned quickly to 6 riders. This group stayed to gather for the rest of the race. The sprint finish was won by Jordan Castle, the winner of the U17 national title on Friday, before Jonty Hapta second and George Roberts third. To get some racing experience the 18 strong B grade got some sort of a “hare” in the race. Luuk van Wagtendonk got the instructions to break the race open and than to keep it going . It worked very well. |
