Road Club Nationals 2008

[RoadRaven]

Yup... its that time of the year again
These begin this Thursday... 23rd October... with the Time Trials.
The Road Races are spread out over Friday to Sunday.

My partner will be defending his gold from last year, and two of my sons will be riding again - this year in the U17 and U19 catergories - hoping to get a place in the time trial - but there are some very useful juniors this year.

Genders race separately as per usual, and categories are age grouped/graded:
Under15 (13-14yrs)
Under 17 (15-16yrs)
Under19 (17-18yrs)
Senior
Masters 1,2,3,4,5,6 (Masters are grouped in 5 years... Masters1 - 35-39yrs, Masters2 - 40-44yrs etc)

If any TE-ers are in Whanganui this coming weekend, please look out for me and come say hi. On Thursday (if the weather permits) I will be wearing a purple "Tremain Tri" tee-sirt, or an Amici Veloci long sleeved bike jersey. Our club is Ramblers, so just look for our signage and our jerseys.

All 3 guys will also be racing on Saturday and Sunday, and we'll probably be there for a while on Friday watching/supporting.

Would love to meet up with a TE-er if any of you are about.

We have the house-sitter, the dog-feeder and the water-checker all sorted, so will be heading over in time to do a dummy run on the TT course on Wednesday (yes, I am taking my TT bike so I can "pretend").
