It’s been great to have watched our young Leeston rider Henrietta Christie have a stellar European season competing in many of the top level classics such as the Belgium spring classics, Paris Roubaix, Women’s Tour of Britain, Tour de France Femmes and the Commonwealth Games.
In September Henrietta will be competing in The World Championships being held at Wollongong, Australia.
Success such as this can be achieved through dedicated hard work and of course, racing every Thursday evening (day light saving time) at our Leeston Cycle Club 16km handicap.
“Leeston racing has been super good for my sprint tactics when you are already tired from a hard 20 minute race.
It’s also helped me heaps when coming down to sprinting off tired legs because it’s like doing a 20 minute test with a max effort at the end.
It’s always a good test on how my fitness is before big races and has helped me with becoming the rider I am today..”
Nic Rush, Silver Medal Winner
“I first went to leeston racing when we moved down to chch (i was 13).
Ever since then my family loved the racing and we went every week. It's hard, honest and fun.
Everything I really enjoy about racing! The other riders there (known as the boatshed crew) have been extremely helpful in guiding and training with me over the years. .”
