Update for the Team at the Dynamo series

Special meeting

Taupo Cycling Club have been in communication with Champion Systems NZ who supply our club kit about putting through a bulk order.

Taupo Cycling Club has been asked to hold a special meeting to consider a change to the Club’s constitution (which the current committee supports). The special meeting will be held immediately prior to the commencement of the Club Champs on Sunday 22 May 2016.

We’re about to complete the first intake into the Waikato Bay of Plenty Performance Hub. We have had a number of applications already, I’d also like to ensure we have the info as far and wide as we can.


U19/23 age group athletes can apply.
We will be completing this process off the back of the Club road nationals later this month. The riders will be notified about 30 April.

The Taupo Cycling Club approached the Forestry Manager about access to Tram road with the following question:


The Taupo Cycling Club used to ride through Tram road as a group on a Sunday morning ride before it was closed several years ago.

Would it be possible to have access on a Sunday morning on a regular basis, either every Sunday, every second Sunday or once a month.
