North Island Secondary Schools

Lindisfarne Boys team had a good day out in the Junior Boys Team Time trial with only a couple of days practice and a 4 man team (5 allowed) of James Lochhead, William Green, Ben Ross and upcoming E Grade rider Ben Paterson to get 10th place in a 41 team event. This race is hotly contested by the big Auckland and Hamilton schools who are well equipped and well drilled.

The road race event was marred by fog and limited to a street circuit race which meant for hairy racing on the damp roads. The class of all our riders was evident with few getting dropped in big fields that were reduced to a third of their size in a lot of the races. Megan Watson, Logan Bean, James Lochhead, William Green, Ben Ross, Mike Garrity, Corban Mason-Smith, Phoebe Treseder finished in the front bunches with Ben Paterson, Noah Mason-Smith, Karl Linley, Amanda Jamieson, Molly Shepherd and Kirsten Findlay all finishing strongly.
