End of Season Wrap

There's been plenty of racing highlights this season with top performances by GP team members at local, national and international events. Some of the standout performances over the past nine months...

• Joe winning the overall at the Tour of New Caledonia

• Joe's win at the Kapiti Cycle Challenge

• National Senior Road Champs, Joe 2nd

• National Masters One Road Champs, Backy 2nd

• National Masters Two Road Champs, Lawny 2nd

• Rice Mountain Classic, Silas 3rd

• Wellington Senior Road Champs, Backy 2nd, Lawny 3rd, Silas 5th

• Masters Time Trial Champs, Backy 1st

• Capital Cycles Wellington Veterans Club 2 day tour, Backy 1st, Davis 2nd.

Racing is only part of the story as there's been a lot of laughs had out training, socialising, traveling and taking the piss out of each other.



The GP is very fortunate to have support from the following sponsors:

• Rocket Espresso Milano, manufacturers of the finest handmade domestic espresso machines in the world.

• Capital Cycles, fantastic service, backup and support from Paul, Shane, Olenka and the team.

• Ricoh, the leading global manufacturer of office automation equipment. 

• The Immigrant's Son espresso, James (head roaster) roasts the finest espresso beans in town.

Now that it's the off season, there'll be more coffee time at the end of rides and a well earned period of rest to freshen up for next season. That's all except JC, who is still in full on training mode, preparing for the Tour of China (July) and Slim who is in the early stages of his racing season in Italia.

Just found some really good photos of Meo GP riders taken by Adrian Rumney at the PNP 4 Peaks race held on Saturday 27 March. Representing the GP at this event were Silas Cullen (top), Jono Hales (middle) and Tom Finlay (bottom)...







And here's a few of Kieran (KT) in action at the Armstrong Festival of Cycling from December last year. KT finished 4th in an exciting sprint finish...
