Henrietta Christie will<br />
be out to repeat her<br />
success from a year ago<br />
at the national road<br />
cycling championships in<br />
Canterbury which start on<br />
Saturday.<br />
Henrietta, who lives in<br />
Rolleston, was the under-16<br />
champion last year<br />
and finished second in the<br />
points race.<br />
More than 600 riders<br />
from 99 schools will compete<br />
in the three-day event.<br />
It will start with a team<br />
time trial at Loburn, North<br />
Canterbury, on Saturday,<br />
then an individual road<br />
race on Sunday in the<br />
same region and a points<br />
race at Ruapuna Park<br />
Raceway on Monday.<br />
Henrietta warmed up by<br />
winning her age-group at<br />
the southern schools’ tour<br />
in Blenheim earlier this<br />
month. The 16-year-old<br />
won the overall winner’s<br />
yellow jersey, the sprinter’s<br />
green jersey and the Queen<br />
of the Mountains polka<br />
dot jersey.<br />
She also won the<br />
Christchurch schools’<br />
winter road cycling series<br />
held from May until<br />
<strong>September</strong>. She was part<br />
of a Cycling New Zealand<br />
development tour as well,<br />
finishing fifth in the Tour<br />
of Canberra in April.<br />
“It’s been a learning<br />
year for me with a few<br />
mechanical issues, but I’ve<br />
still been happy with my<br />
results,” she said.<br />
Henrietta had a practice<br />
ride on the 35km North<br />
Canterbury course a<br />
fortnight ago and said it<br />
was flat, which means she<br />
will need to rely on her<br />
speed rather than her hillclimbing<br />
ability.<br />
She says she rides almost<br />
100km each week and prefers<br />
road racing because no<br />
two events are the same.<br />
“I do the track in summer<br />
but that’s mainly just<br />
for fitness.”<br />
Henrietta said she has<br />
watched some of the North<br />
Island tours to get an idea<br />
of who the best riders are<br />
but she backs herself to be<br />
a title contender.<br />
