I would like to extend a vote of thanks to all the club members that gave up part of or all of their weekend to assist with Hub Tour a few days ago. The fact that the weekend was a success is all down to you. All up, 54 club members volunteered their support and had “official duties” – fantastic.
If you were standing on a corner for hours , sweeping stones off the course, putting out or picking up cones, recording numbers over the line, erecting finish banners, passing out wheels, following riders in a commissaries car, racing to stay ahead of riders down Torrens, picking up riders off the stones at the crit., baking in the hot sun up the top of the Taihape Rd hill, holding riders at the prologue, doing roll outs, processing results till the small hours, putting together the programme, making up start lists, or just passing on some much appreciated advice.
Thanks also need to go to the riders as without them there would be no need for the tour. Special thanks to Ken MacKenzie, Ivar Hopman and Ivan Aplin.
From Event Director, Wally Woods
