Regional Sports Park Supporters Club Launch

It would be great if we can show our support for this and send a clear message of support for the project (including our velodrome!)

 
 

You are invited along with your friends and fellow club members to sign up to the sports park
"Supporters Club".  This was very successful indeed for the Westpac Stadium and we wish to duplicate that success in Hawke's Bay.

 
 

The "Supporters Club" launch is being held on Tuesday 25^th November 2008

Time:                     Between 6.30 to 7.30pm

Location:              Regional Sports Park – Athletics Track, Percival Road, Hastings.

 
 

On arrival at the park (the more people in one vehicle the better),  head to the More FM tent in the inner field to meet with Ian Smith and several high profile sporting people to sign up and support this wonderful project through to completion. 

 
 

A gold coin donation would be appreciated but is not mandatory.

 
 

See you on Tuesday evening at the park.  Would really appreciate if you could spread the word.

 
 

Regards

Excerpt from Tauranga Club Newsletter re Nationals

Nationals Labour weekend 2008
Wanganui

One thing you can guarantee when racing in Wanganui is hills. They love hills. The longer and steeper the better. The fact you are riding close to the coast facing the Southwest generally guarantees wind and any clouds mean rain. Racing in Wanganui is challenging and fun and Nationals provides the best racing you can get.

In my grade 50 – 54 we had 40 tough old brutes for the road race. Most of whom I knew from past years. The racing was close and hard. No learners here to worry about. The guys attacked the whole way around like we were Under 17's. The last 5 km consisted of a 3.5km climb then 1.5 km flat run into the finish. Being relatively light the last hill was not a problem but the attacks of the previous 60 km had taken its toll and the legs were not able to deliver a medal in the sprint to the finish.

In the Masters 3 Mark Crowther was fuming after his finish. 2 Ramblers (Hawkes Bay) riders got away and every time a chase group started rotating two other Rambler riders would come through, slow down and stop the group working together. A bunch contested the sprint for third and unfortunately it was not a Tauranga jersey.
