Stratford Cycling Club riders raced for the Egmont Electrical sponsored Lawrence Shield over 42km around the Pukengahu Block last weekend.  Paul Avery found the hills to his liking and rode through to win in a time of 1.13.42 from Mark Caskey (his first Stratford Club race), and Garry Bradley (another new club member).  Fastest time went to Denay Cottam in 1.03.27, holding off Jason Thomanson in the up hill finish on Bird Road.

The next club race is the Northern Dairy sponsored Van Der Bos Cup on the 4th September .  It will be held around the 70km Te Wera, Huiroa Block.
