I was in at Revolution Cycles talking to Jonty today and he told me about this race that his buddy Asher is organising this Sunday. Unlucky for me (not really) I’ll be in Auckland but if you are around Welly and feel like a bit of a hurt fest then show up at Revolution Bicycles (57b Northland Rd, Northland) at 8am and register. There’s 60 points up for grabs. Oh and did I say it’s free entry? Oh did I say there’s no prize? More details below. Wellington Peaks Points Race
