Race Report – 21 February 2023 ACM WIZwireless 2Up TT Whangaehu Valley Rd
The 2Up TT was held on the Whangaehou Valley road course. Starting and finishing at the Te Ore Ore marae. The main race being 40kms out and back with a short course option also available
Conditions were good, warm but with a blustery nor’westerly that provided help and hinderance in equal measure. Up the valley road the wind tends to swirl around inconsistently giving riders unexpected gusts of head & side winds
There was a modest turnout of club members for the race. Just 12 entries in the long course and 6 for the short course. These supplemented by 2 ebike riders and 2 solo riders
Quickest riders on the night was the duo of Dave Drummond & Simon Butler. The short course honors went to the mother & daughter team of Dalene & Gita Van Der Leek
