'Ladies hour' tonight

Cycling Nelson offers a new option for road cyclists with the introduction of the ‘Kelling Circuit’ race on Saturday which will provide ideal preparation for next month’s Te Rauparaha’s Revenge.

With many riders looking for the chance to test themselves over a shorter course with multiple laps the Moutere Highway, Neudorf and Kelling Roads 6.7km loop offers great variety with long straights, short climbs and fast descents.

All ages and levels are being catered for: youngsters (Yr 7 & 8) will ride 3 laps, allowing many to prepare for National championships whilst for beginners wanting a taste of the sport of cycling, the distance is very achievable.

It’s also 3 laps for the Especially for Women grade while the Sportif (those not wanting to push themselves to far!) will ride 4 laps and the Open grade, will circuit 8 times. The Open grade will be split into A & B starts if rider numbers require such.
