Results Sunday 2 October With only one week to go to the NZ school Cycling champs in Levin Feilding and Manfield 41 manwatu school kids came to Hiwinui for their final road race preparation. Hiwinui circuit is a challenging 18 km lap. Some will call it undulating some hilly but for sure it is not flat. A and B grade doing the lap twice and C and D grade riding the circuit ones. In A grade it became a race between Luuk van Wagtendonk and Miguel Dib after Matiu Kaihau crashed on the first down hill corner. On the couple of dips before the finish Miguel attacked a few times and on the last rise dropped Luuk to finish first before Luuk second and Jonty Hapeta third. |

Results 14th of August
50 kids assembled at Hiwinui school car park on Sunday morning 14th of August. Riders were divided in to 4 grades with A and B grade doing 2 and C and D grade doing 1 lap of the “undulating” 18 km Hiwinui circuit. Some good racing on a cold morning with weather changing rapidly. A grade saw an early 2 man break Mark Findlay and Luuk van Wagtendonk. Both were confident staying away till the end but on the Watershed corner Luuk hit the wet white lines and came off his bike. Mark carried on Luuk inspected the damage and carried on a bit later. The bunch came sort of back but Mark was to strong and claimed the victory before Jordan Castel 2nd and Luuk van Wagtendonk 3rd.
