BRAKES OFF, JORJA ON!

Beautiful conditions and 61 riders made for a cracking evening on Old Christchurch Road for Hokitika Cycling Club’s first handicap race of the season!

2. Gavin Schist
3. Graham Provis
4. Nick Van Niekerk
5. Susan Donaldson
6. Helen Gillespie
7. Gary Glasson

29/09/2026

And on a stunning sunny evening, with 58 riders, including 7 new riders with the club, Hokitika Cycling Club kicked off what feels like will be an epic season!

Old Christchurch Road is the perfect course for a 16km Scratch Race, to enable the handicapper to sort handicaps for next week, and to showcase who’s been doing what over the offseason.

Also a fun course for new riders to enjoy the thrill of riding with others.

Congratulations Sharlotte Lucas on taking line honours, just ahead of Martin Ryder who lead home the remainder of the lead pack.

And thank you Liam Gorrie for nurturing a group of seven in the development group, to give them a fun and safe introduction to group riding.

Lots of positive energy tonight, with many people assisting to make it an awesome kick off to the season! Thanks all. And we have a new gazebo!

Here’s the results sheets, and photos for the record. Bring on next week…

This time tomorrow the Hokitika Cycling Club season kicks off with a club bunch ride round the bridges followed by a social function at our effective clubrooms, The Pioneer.

Please meet at 5.45pm ready to ride outside The Pioneer for a briefing.

A season update and welcome will be given at the social function. For those that can’t make it the season schedule is below.

Thanks to our committee and race management team for getting the metaphoric ducks in a row for another season.

💡 this season the committee require all riders to have a working front and rear light for racing and for their commute to and from racing. Our local bike shop has a swag of options available.

Fun fact tomorrow will be Tuesday night number 1 of 28 for Hokitika Cycling Club activities over the next 29 weeks, noting our week off for the festive season on December 29th and prizegiving on April 6th.

27/04/2026

A massive congratulations to our riders that took to the start line for the first Canterbury Tour over the weekend, Gemma, Darren, Martin and Andy, plus our de facto club member Noah!

An even bigger congratulations to Martin on taking both 2nd in the General Classification and 1st in the Points Category for his grade, and to Andy on taking 2nd on the GC in his grade.

I’m sure the club will have more members lining up for year two.

Well done team and great to see the season fitness being used still and not lost like some of us might be doing now!
