This weekend will see many of Ramblers juniors racing in National and International competitions. First of this Friday afternoon(2.23pm local time) will be Ashleigh Neave (Open Women/JU19), in a 15.5km TT at Canberra’s Kowalski Tour.
Regan Gough(JB15), Liam Johnson(JB13) and Ashleigh Neave will start with a Road Race in Canberra on Saturday morning and in the afternoon they will all race a Criterium at the Stromlo Mountain Park.
The same day a Lindisfarne team of James Lochhead, Ben Ross, William Green and Ben Pedersen, are lining up in the North Island Secondary School team time trial competition. A 16km out and back race at Gordonton just north of Hamilton. This event is growing out to be one of NZ biggest cycling events with 46 team in their Junior grade alone.
On Sunday the Trans-Tasman battle will resume as Regan Gough(JB15), Liam Johnson(JB13) will have to contest a Road Race and a TT. A 71.8km hilly Road race should be in Ashleigh Neave’s favor, as she has shown before in 2008, finishing second overall in the JU17. Follow these guys on: http://canberratour.actcyclingevents.com.au
Ngaruawhia is hosting the NISS Road Race on Sunday and will see more Ramblers Juniors on the start-line. Phoebe Treseder(Iona College) U15G,
William Green, Ben Ross and Ben Pedersen(Lindisfarne College) U15B, James Lochhead(Lindisfarne College) U16B, Logan Bean(CHB College) U17B and Megan Watson(Hastings Girls High) U20G.
This spectacle is a must see event for everyone, as many North Island schools rock up with their purpose built trailers/tents and uniforms to show case their cycling talents. The number of starters in the Road Races, JU15B x 78 and JU17 x 83, short races (nothing over 27km) and narrow roads make for exciting contests.
No internet link available at the moment but we’ll try to keep you posted over the weekend.
We like to wish these Rambler ambassadors all the best in their quest for glory.
