A small contingent of local riders attended this event that was held in Masterton on 8 March 2007. Weather was fine and mild with a steady breeze that slowly picked up as the day wore on.
Tony Hooper in Vet 1 placed second in 57.42 (by 3/100th) of a second from Ben Knight and was extremely unlucky not to take the win.
Andrew Townsend was in a class of his own and took the win in Vet 2 in 55.45 which was the fastest time of the day by almost two minutes.
No representation in Vet 3 and Vet 5 but Bruce Galloway took gold in Vet 4 in 57.51 in his first 40km event. Ian Seddon in a return to top level riding was second in 59.04 with Hilary Green 6th in 64.48.
Alan Simpson also took gold in Vet 6 in 61.33 in a further improvement on his time from last year. Photos will be added to the website in due course.
