Summer had certainly disappeared for the last race of the Top Gear Cycles sponsored Summer Race series held at the Velodrome last Saturday. No rain but quite a cool wind at the Velodrome bought fewer riders to the final event. Spot prize winner for the day was Junior - Kyle Goucher who put in a great effort racing some of the older guys. Taupo Cycling Club has plenty of track bikes in various sizes for use at the Velodrome, which are free to club members (own pedals required) and will soon be launching a track cycling program for anyone keen to get into track cycling on a Wednesday night.
New Zealand currently has a very strong profile of promising track cyclists, including Taupos own Patrick Bevin and we would like to see more people, including the younger ones getting into this sport.
