Great Day at the Time Trials for Ramblers at Nationals in Wanganui

Congratulations Asheligh Neave and Ken Mac Kenzie "Gold", Richard Brough "Silver" and Andrew Townsend "Bronze"

Commentary from Ivar ---

We had some good results today at The Lion Foundation National Club Road Race Champs in Wanganui.
Sacred Heart College student Ashleigh Neave blitz the Under 17 Girls field, taking the gold medal in the 10km time trial by 10 seconds from Courtney Grenfell.
Dartmoor farmer Ken MacKenzie repeated his last year feat, winning the Masters Men 3 grade 20km time trial by 1min18.
Richard Brough had close shave, winning a silver medal in the Masters Men 1 grade 25km time trial by point four seconds from Manu Robson.
In the Masters Men 2 grade the Hub Cycle Centre mechanic, Andrew Townsend won a bronze medal, only 7 seconds behind Lester Settle in second place.
The hard luck story has to go Fraser Gough, finishing fifth in the Under 17 Boys time trial only six meazily seconds from a medal, showing the depth of talent at the top of his grade. With one more year in this junior grade Fraser will have enough time to showcase his talent.

In Friday's road race we again have some medal prospect with Ashleigh Neave, Sarah and Megan Watson in the Under 17 Girls, Alan Black and Roy van Panhuys in the Masters Men 6, Sue & Ken Tunnicliff and Ian Fraser in the Masters Women/Men 5, Ian Wright in Masters Men 4 and last but not least our young guns in Under 15 Boys, William Green, Tim Lutter, Logan Bean and Regan Gough.
