A big thank you to all the volunteer officials who helped run the Hudson, Gavin & Martin Auckland 1000. We had about 70 people involved in various roles. It was great to see the co-operation from all the clubs.
And we have had some thanks from the riders, including some who enjoyed the brief rain!
Next year’s race is programmed for Sunday 22nd August – put it in your diaries now.
Congratulations to Sam Webster and Ethan Mitchell on their gold medal success at the Junior World Track Champs in Moscow last month. It is good to see the track programme broadening its base from endurance events based around the team pursuit into other events.
When Sam first turned up at the Velodrome a few seasons ago it was obvious he had the fast twitch fibres and leg speed to make a very good sprinter. He has realised that potential and provides a role model for other aspiring sprinters.
