2011 has been a full and busy year for Ramblers Cycling.
Thank you to all those who support Saturday racing, Thursday night rides, hosted events such as HUB/EMC Tour and Taupo-Napier, and associated events such as Tour of the Bay. Our volunteers (both rostered and those who just show up on the day to assist) ensure both successful racing and participation at a huge range of levels, abilities, ages and distances. It may be a ‘cliche’ but Ramblers really could not offer these opportunities without each and every one of you.
Special thanks to our very generous Club Sponsor, Heretaunga Building Society. Ramblers encourages its members to look at and consider the services offered by Heretaunga Building Society, and support them in return.
Thanks also to our Grade Sponsors; Revolution Bikes, Marewa Epic Cycles, Pedal Power, AvantiPlus, Grant White Autobody, Langley Twigg and Hub Cycle Centre. Our grade sponsors supply your race leader jerseys so when you can, stop and shop with them.
Some of our key events and our day-to-day running could not be completed without grants so we also thank Lion Foundation, Endeavour Community Trust, Pub Charity and Infinity Foundation for their support in 2011, and Lion Foundation also for their commitment to the HUB/EMC Tour again in 2012.
With Christmas, Boxing Day and New Year holidays imminent, we wish all members and supporters of the club all the best for your Summer break, and whatever form your celebrations take, we trust you enjoy time with family and friends, find some time for yourselves, and of course, get plenty of riding in ready for another fabulous year of cycling, fitness, competition and fun in 2012.
