Auckland to Wellington Cycle Challenge Feb 2010
The 2nd Auckland to Wellington Cycle Challenge will be held in February 2010.
The Cycle Challenge is "OPEN" to anyone and has a real attraction to the masters age group type of competitor.
ELITE RACE: I am keen to include an Elite Race section. However this will only happen if enough ELITE RIDERS enter.
I would appreciate it if any ELITE RIDERS could contact me to indicate if they are interested in riding.
That way i can make all the necessary arrangement to include the "ELITE RACE"
All information is on the web site. www.dynamoevents.co.nz
Any questions just contact me at stephen@dynamoevents.co.nz
Thanks for your support.
Cheers

Kerry has some success in Tahiti (Final Report)

Kerry Harford Tahiti report 3
A strong ride in The Tour De L'Amitie stage 7, a 16.6km time trial, from Kerry Harford saw the Bike NZ rider taking top honours in the masters grade for the day. His team mate Richard Walsh's second place in the TT was enough to reclaim the blue leaders' jersey.
This left the diminished masters team to defend the leaders jersey in the eight and last stage, a 59km criterium along the seafront in down-town Papeete.
With Kerry's 45km/hr power surges at the front of the peleton, leaving not much space for counter attacks, the Bike NZ masters team managed to secure the coveted blue jersey.>

Kerry Harford Tahiti Report 2

Ramblers intrepid traveler Kerry Harford is in seventh place on the Masters GC after five of the eight stages in Tahiti's Tour De L'Amitie. The rough road surface on the tropical islands took its toll on the peletons' material and Kerry suffered punctures in two stages. 
The BikeNZ Masters team had to run Stage 5-2, a 30km Team Time Trial, without Canterbury's powerhouse Lester Settle, subsequently losing the Blue masters jersey of leading team mate Richard Walsh to local Serge Taruoura.
With two more road stages, one ITT and a criterium left, the team has it's work cut out trying to reclaim the top spot. In this event the Seniors, Under 23 and Masters all race together, with the Chilean National Team stringing up a raft of victories and overall placings.
