Success at Waikato/BOP Centre Time Trial Champs
Report by Mark

Tauranga
cyclists had to haul a pile of medals back over the Kaimais after
Saturdays Waikato/BOP Time Trial Championships, held at Gordonton. It was rather
cold over there, with intermittent rain, but all our riders performed
with distinction and it was great to see so many of our distinctive
stripey blue & white club jerseys out on the Waikato roads. For the first time,
this event was opened to riders from outside the Waikato/BOP region,
but they were ineligible to win any titles. In all, there were some 120
riders competing.
