2017 South Island Road Cycling Championships

TBHS —

Seven boys headed off to the South Island Road Championships at Ruapuna Raceway over the recent holidays.

The first day saw boys participate in the individual time trials and although no podium finishes were forthcoming, it was a great learning curve, especially with the mechanical malfunctions that presented for Thomas Allan who ended up having to ride his steed as a single speed!

A great night was had at the campground after first visiting some bike shops and preparing for the big road race day on Sunday. The races were fast paced, dominated by one large Christchurch school which made it difficult for other riders to attack. Liam Barclay was an exceptional and regularly utilised roadside bike mechanic.

We felt so welcomed at this event and left with many thousands of dollars of donated riding kit for the roadies. Special thanks must go to Future Champions Support Network.
