Warmup cycle team focused on coffee and enjoyment

A mixture of youth, experience, regional and national age group champions make up the Warmup Cycling team for 2009.

A squad of 10 riders has been named, and according to team Manager Kelly Chapman the team is focused on enjoying the team concept, coffee and performing well in Canterbury B grade races, the Benchmark series and targeted tours.

“We have a good bunch of guys that train a lot together and we’re really looking forward to the team focused Benchmark series and the Tour of Canterbury and Tour de Lakes in March and April.”

“Our aim is to support each other, develop riding as a team in various tours and races and hopefully gain some results in local and South island events.”

“If we stay focused on the coffee and enjoyment elements the results will come,” he said.

The team first official outing is in this weekend’s opening round of the European style teams based road racing Benchmark series in Christchurch. There is an exhibition 40km team time trial on Saturday and on Sunday the series opens with the 145km Round One 4th Lowe & Associates Accountants Trophy. The race starts in Sefton and folows the roads of Cust, Oxford, and the Ashley Gorge before finishing back in Sefton.
