Consent 

granted 

to build 

Pak’nSave 

in Papanui 


RESOURCE CONSENT has been 

granted for a Pak’nSave to be built 

near the intersection of Main 

North and Northcote Rds. 

Building is expected to start at 

171 Main North Rd in the next 

few months, and will take up to 

12-18 months to complete. 

The proposed Northcote Entertainment 

Sports Terminal was 

set to be built at the site but the 

supermarket will go there instead. 

Foodstuffs head of external relations 

Antoinette Laird said the 

site was chosen because Papanui 

is an “up-and-coming” area. 

“The Main North Rd site will 

service a growing and exciting 

community,” she said. 

“We’re pretty sure the new 

Pak’nSave will be a real asset to 

the community.” 

A Pak’nSave branded petrol 

station will also be built on the 

site. 

Said Ms Laird: “There are many 

factors to take into account when 

developing a project of this scale. 

With every new store we look 

to incorporate features which 

celebrate the area in terms of look 

and feel.”

Green light for bus priority project 


THE CONTROVERSIAL Main 

North Rd bus priority project 

has been approved by the city 

council. 

The $1.8 million project was 

approved on Thursday. It will 

see 24-hour bus and bike lanes 

put in along Main North Rd, 

except for a stretch from Harewood 

Rd to 

Winston Ave. 

Papanui- 

Innes Community 

Board 

member John 

Stringer said 

he was “disappointed” 

by the 

John 

Stringer 

city council’s 

decision. 

“The rights of 

faster bus and bike commuting 

through our community to save 

40sec to a few minutes has been 

ideologically elevated above the 

practical local needs of Papanui 

people,” he said. 

“Our village is being transformed 

from a local shopping 

precinct into a rapid-transit 

commuter corridor. Inevitably 

there will be pedestrian accidents 

as a result.” 

He said the area has a high

and the change would affect 

elderly residents. 

“They will no longer be able to 

cross a much busier Main North 

Rd safely with three to five lanes 

of north-south traffic.” 

But community board member 

Mike Davidson said the decision 

struck the right balance 

for road users and businesses. 

“This decision has been a long 

time in the making and I know 

it is never easy to bring in new 

transport projects that are not 

used by the majority of people 

but still extremely important for 

the city,” Mr Davidson said.

“We know that with expected

and this is achieved partly by 

building the right infrastructure 

to encourage uptake.” 

Papanui Super Liquor owner 

Carolyn Moffat said she was 

“thrilled” with the decision. 

“The efforts of the community 

board have been outstanding. 

They took the time to listen 

and work through the issues we 

had, and came up with a compromise 

which suits businesses, 

local shoppers and commuters.”

“I suppose it was a good 

outcome on the day – but it’s 

still the lesser of two evils,” he 

said. 

“My problem is that there 

is a distinct lack of evidence 

that these bus lanes will actually 

work . . . The (city council) 

don’t know whether the project 

will reach a good outcome, 

or whether it’s just going to 

be another $1.8 million that’s

In Brief 

Fire rages, homes at risk 

BELFAST BRIDGE 

One-lane traffic has opened on 

the new Belfast Rd bridge. Road 

users were able to use the bridge 

for first time yesterday, and the 

Christchurch Northern Corridor 

Alliance team expect to have 

both lanes open on November 3. 

The remaining work is weather 

dependent, and a 30km/h speed 

limit will remain in place until the 

bridge has been completed. 

PLUNKET ROOM WORK 

Work has re-started on the 

Redwood Plunket rooms, which 

are being repaired following 

earthquake damage. Significant 

cracking on the walls and ceiling 

will be fixed before the building 

is opened again. The project 

is expected to be completed 

this month but was originally 

scheduled to be finished in June. It 

was delayed due to the discovery of 

black mould, which increased the 

cost of the project by $25,000. 

SPEED LIMIT STAYS 

The speed limit in the Prestons 

subdivision will remain at 50km/h. 

The Coastal- Burwood and 

Papanui-Innes community boards 

voted not to lower the speed limit 

to 40km/h after the city council 

identified that reducing the limit 

was appropriate. The existing 

school speed zones will remain in 

place.

New 

principal 

appointed 

for Isleworth 

School 

A NEW principal has been 

appointed for Isleworth School, in 

Bishopdale. 

Suzanne Newton has been at 

Shirley Primary 

School for the 

past two years 

and has had the 

opportunity to 

be co-acting 

principal for a 

large period of 

Suzanne 

Newton 

2017. 

Ms Newton 

said she had 

a passion for 

education, centred around creating 

an environment of success where 

educationally powerful connections 

and relationships enhance the development 

of a responsive curriculum 

that enables effective teaching 

and opportunities to learn. 

Ms Newton would be transitioning 

into the school over the next 

term before she fully immersed 

herself in the school next year. 

She would be introduced to the 

school community later in term 

four. 

City woman leads young farmers 


and Emily O’Connell 

A ST Albans woman has become 

the first female chief executive of 

New Zealand Young Farmers. 

Tech-savvy businesswoman 

Lynda Coppersmith, 48, took up 

the position on October 1 and said 

her first week was “very busy.” 

“I’ve been learning a lot – I’m 

at brain-saturation point I think, 

but it’s been great to talk to 

everybody and understand the 

business.” 

Ms Coppersmith said she had 

been out of the primary industries 

for more than six years, and 

was pleased to be back. 

“I really enjoyed my time 

when I worked in the industry. 

It’s something that’s in your 

blood, and you get quite passionate 

about it,” she said. 

“Having grown a few leadership 

skills in the meantime, I 

thought this looked like a great 

opportunity to get back into the 

industry.” 

She said she was “chuffed” to 

be the first woman to hold the 

chief executive position at NZ 

Young Farmers. 

“I think every time we see 

more diversity and women 

getting more senior roles in organisations, 

it’s a win. It brings a 

different perspective to what we 

do, and I think that’s great.” 

She was looking forward to 

visiting clubs and drumming 

up interest in farming for young 

people. 

“I’m keen to understand 

who young farmers are, what’s 

important to them, what they’re 

worried about, what they’re 

excited about and that kind of 

thing,” she said. 

“I think that’s a really important 

role that we play, and I can 

see there are opportunities to 

grow that further, to look at filling 

that gap and meet the target 

of getting an extra 50,000 people 

into the industry.”

With the deadline for Youth 

MP applications closing, I’ve 

been getting out to our schools to 

talk to students about why they 

should apply. As local MP, I enjoy 

engaging with our young people. 

Before becoming a Member of 

Parliament, I worked in healthcare, 

specifically mental health, but 

always knew I would move into 

politics as a way of giving back 

and making a difference in the 

community, and I am enjoying 

encouraging our young people to 

be a voice for the Waimakariri. 

Students at the University of 

Canterbury invited me recently 

to be a part of a robust debate 

on mental health. I was thrilled to 

see the involvement of so many 

people in talking about the issues 

challenging us, and I updated 

students on my work writing to MPs 

to back my proposal for a crossparty 

group to focus on mentalhealth 

outcomes independent of 

the Parliamentary cycle. 

I enjoyed bringing National’s 

Spokesperson for Trade, Todd 

McClay, to visit some of our 

Northern Christchurch businesses, 

many of which are exporting 

globally. I enjoy showcasing what 

we do well and giving people 

the opportunity to sit down with 

relevant policy makers to discuss 

what they need to continue moving 

forward, whether they are business 

owners or community members 

who want their voices heard. 

Last month we celebrated an 

important anniversary. 125 years 

ago we led the world when our 

women won the right to vote and it 

was a good time to acknowledge 

the hard work of our women MPs 

who continue in this proud tradition. 

I’m hearing from constituents 

they are concerned about the 

culling of 17,500 Tahr, which is 

against the advice of hunting 

representatives and tourism 

operators. If you would like to get

cull, go to https://www.national.org.

Problem trees in dispute 


HAREWOOD RESIDENTS are 

struggling with troublesome oak 

trees while the city council is 

unsure whose responsibility it is 

to pay for their removal. 

Graeme and Diane Barber have 

lived in their Cam Pl home since 

1983 – but 

shortly after 

they moved in, 

six oak trees 

were planted 

in Pasadena 

Reserve, which 

have now 

grown to 16m 

Sam 

MacDonald 

and block their 

sun. 

In the 

original plans, a road was 

supposed to run through the 

reserve and this led to confusion 

over whether the oaks are 

deemed street trees or reserve 

trees. 

If they are reserve trees, the 

city council would be responsible 

for the cost of removing them, 

but if they are street trees it 

would be up to residents to pay. 

Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

chairman Sam MacDonald said 

the board has requested city 

council staff investigate the issue. 

“Normally these things can

shading his property. 

be turned around in a week, but 

because of the technical nature 

of this, I just wanted to paint the 

full picture, so it’ll take about six 

weeks.” 

“It’s on a bit of disputed land, 

and we’re just trying to get some 

clarity around what the process 

is and how we manage that,” he 

said. 

Mr Barber said he has battled 

the city council over the trees for 

the last decade. 

“They’re in the wrong place 

and have grown too large. Why 

do the needs and well-being of 

people overshadow the needs of a 

healthy tree?” 

He said the trees could grow 

up to 24m – the equivalent of an 

eight-story building. 

“They wouldn’t build 

something that tall next to 

people’s houses, so why are they 

allowing the trees to be there?” 

he said. 

He said arborists occasionally 

pruned the trees, but it wasn’t 

enough. 

“Their maintenance cycle is a 

lot less than what is needed here. 

If you complain, you see a flurry 

of activity and then it stops,” he 

said. 

“They’re the wrong trees in 

the wrong place, and they can’t 

be fixed unless you take them 

down.” 

A similar problem has also 

arisen in Upper Riccarton. The 

residents of Villa Grove wanted 

the city council to remove 22 oak 

trees, which were 24-years-old 

and ranged between 8.1-15.8m 

high. 

However, the Halswell- 

Hornby-Riccarton Community 

Board declined to go ahead with 

residents’ request to have the 

trees removed, and resolved to 

continue with maintenance.

Another 

Pak’nSave 

for Papanui 

•From page 1 

“But, most importantly, the 

store needs to be environmentally 

sensitive, energy efficient and a 

pleasant place to shop,” Ms Laird 

said. 

While Foodstuffs owns the land 

the supermarket will be built on, 

the store will have an independent 

owner/operator. 

Construction of the supermarket 

will coincide with several other 

upgrades in Papanui, including 

the city council’s Main North 

Rd bus priority project and the 

New Zealand Transport Agency’s 

Northern Corridor project. 

There are five Pak’nSave supermarkets 

in Christchurch, including 

one in Papanui at Northlands 

Shopping Centre. 


CITY COUNCILLOR Aaron 

Keown could finally see 

traffic lights installed at a 

Bishopdale intersection as public 

consultation on the project gets 

the green light. 

The city council voted on 

Thursday to send options out 

for consultation to either install 

traffic lights 

at the Breens, 

Harewood and 

Gardiners Rds 

intersection, 

or to introduce 

a signalised 

crossing to 

Aaron Keown 

Harewood Rd 

and reduce it to 

one lane. 

Cr Keown has been campaigning 

to have lights installed at the 

Breens, Harewood and Gardiners 

Rds intersection for two-anda-half 

years. 

“It goes out for consultation 

now, but the preferred option for 

council is cutting off Harewood 

Rd – they’re basically just going 

to try and talk people out of 

choosing the traffic lights.” 

He said he felt confident that 

the majority of submissions 

would be in favour of the traffic 

lights, but he expected the 

city council to try and slow the 

process. 

“The problem is it won’t just 

go to the community board and 

then to council, as is the normal 

process. It will also have to go 

to the Infrastructure, Transport 

and Environment Committee. 

It’s just another chance for the 

council to block it.” 

While the majority of city 

councillors voted for the proposal, 

Cr Keown said he was 

“disappointed” that councillors 

Tim Scandrett, Pauline Cotter 

and Phil Clearwater were against 

it. 

“That’s how dirty politics operates, 

sometimes you just can’t get 

wins with certain people.” 

He said the opposed councillors 

focused on the lack of available 

funding for traffic lights, but 

he was sure the money could be 

found in the Annual Plan. 

“I think people will come forward 

and say ‘don’t spend money 

on stupid statues or a park or a 

swimming pool, we want it spent 

on traffic lights’,” he said. 

“To be honest, with the cost 

of the council blocking this 

project we would have probably 

already paid for the traffic lights.

ripped off by staff tactics and

Fendalton-Waimairi-

Board chairman Sam 

MacDonald said he hoped the 

city council would listen to what 

the public wanted. 

“The council now have bought 

into the process of letting the 

public tell them what they want 

at this intersection, so for them 

at the end of this to block it 

would be completely unacceptable,” 

he said. 

“From the meeting on 

Thursday there’s a green light 

that this intersection is going to

Bus changes: Striking the right balance 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board members Mike 

Davidson and Emma 

Norrish write about the 

proposed Main North Rd 

bus priority project 

THE PAPANUI-Innes 

Community Board recently made 

recommendations to the city 

council on the Main North Rd 

bus priority project. 

As Papanui Ward 

representatives on the board, it 

was important for us that this 

project struck the right balance 

between the local community 

(both residential and business) 

and bus users. 

This is a busy public transport 

corridor and 80 per cent of the 

bus passengers are Christchurch 

residents. 

The recent proposal to cut 

community bus routes in 

our ward by Environment 

Canterbury, and the resulting 

outcry from the community, 

showed the importance people 

put on the Christchurch bus 

service. But unfortunately bus 

patronage is low and this needs

One way to increase patronage 

is to improve journey time 

reliability, which was the aim of 

TRANSPORT PLAN: Papanui-Innes Community Board members Mike Davidson and Emma 

Norrish share their thoughts on the Main North Rd bus priority project. 

this project. Unfortunately, there 

have been a number of comments 

made publicly that have been 

incorrect and it is important to 

set the record straight. 

The project was estimated to 

create journey time savings of 

between 3min 20sec and 4min 

20sec between Harewood Rd and 

Sawyers Arms Rd. 

An amendment moved and 

seconded by the two of us 

recommends to the city council 

that the north-bound bus lane 

starts at Winston Ave. 

This amendment will mean 

nine car parks are retained. It 

does reduce the journey time 

savings by 40sec, but we believe 

this was a good compromise. 

The north-bound bus lane, if 

approved, will now extend from 

Winston Ave to Grassmere St 

with a reduction of only seven 

car parks. 

The main change on the south 

side between Grassmere St and 

Horner St was the removal 

of six car parks to extend the 

length of the current bus stop. 

This decision was approved 

unanimously by the board. 

There have been comments 

made that only four car parks 

would be left; this is incorrect – 

the actual amount of car parks 

retained will be eight. 

It is fair to say the consultation 

results were mixed, with people 

supporting, or supporting with 

concerns, or against. 

What came through very 

clearly from the consultation 

though, were two clear issues: 

The car parking between 

Harewood Rd and Winston 

Ave, and the Grassmere St 

intersection. 

The project team made 

significant changes to this 

intersection following the 

consultation, which resulted 

in the intersection becoming 

signalised and retaining all 

turning movements. The board 

unanimously accepted this 

outcome. 

With the inclusion of the 

amendment the board passed the 

Main North Rd Bus Lane Priority 

project 5-1. 

This outcome sends a clear 

message that although we 

support the need for good public 

transport infrastructure, we 

listen to what our community 

tells us. Our community is made 

up of people who both supported 

and opposed this project, and 

we were never going to please 

everyone, but we believe the best 

recommendation has been made 

to the city council.

SCRUFFY TREES surrounding 

the city’s Ronald McDonald 

House have been tidied up. 

Beaver Tree Service Ltd 

donated its time and skills 

recently to help trim the trees, 

along with removing deadwood 

and hazardous branches from 

around the building. 

The company brought smiles 

to children at the house with 

lead arborist David McKeich 

climbing the trees in a beaver 

suit. 

Office manager Belinda 

Henderson said it decided to 

do the work free of charge after 

Installed from 

$1,990 incl GST 

Ronald McDonald phoned up 

asking for a quote to have its 

trees tidied. 

“It means it doesn’t come out 

of their budget, they can use it 

for something else,” she said. 

Beaver also supports social 

enterprise and non-profit 

organisation, B1G1, which helps 

feed impoverished children 

throughout New Zealand. 

In about 2013, the company 

sponsored a room at Ronald 

McDonald House that allowed 

families to stay for free.

In 2015, Mr Robb abseiled

a beaver suit to help raise funds 

for the Foundation for Youth

The foundation is a not-forprofit 

organisation managing

including Kiwi Can, Project K

History of making money in Papanui 

Papanui Heritage group 

chairman Murray Williams 

writes about the ups 

and downs of the area’s 

economy 

PAPANUI IS a settlement that 

owes its origin to the native 

bush that was located in the area 

between modern day Vagues and 

Langdons Rds. 

However, this relatively small 

forested area was exhausted 

by 1857 due to the insatiable 

demand for construction timber 

and firewood of the settlers in 

nearby Christchurch. 

The Papanui population then 

stagnated but the local economy 

eventually recovered as it was 

realised that, if the swampy cut 

over land was drained, there 

was a possibility for a brighter 

future based on agriculture and 

horticulture. 

In the 1860s, Francis Sisson 

built up significant land holdings 

and a flourishing orchard 

business, and effectively founded 

a horticultural dynasty in the 

MORE THAN $76,000 has been 

earmarked for the rejuvenation of 

an 1899 St Albans villa. 

Up to $76,342 will be spent on 

the villa in Ranfurly St. 

Built by the Soanes brothers, 

Henry and Philip, 

to showcase 

their design and 

building skills, 

the double brick 

return bay villa 

retains much of 

Phil 

Clearwater 

the original form 

and character. 

The city 

council’s social, 

community development and 

housing committee has approved 

grants for a range of other 

projects in the city ranging from 

$5136 to nearly $90,000. 

The proposed grants will cover 

maintenance and repairs, along 

Papanui area. 

Nola Murfitt (née Sisson), 

Francis Sisson’s great-granddaughter, 

has vivid memories of 

living and working on a family 

owned orchard in the 1930s and 

with upgrade and conservation 

work. 

Committee chairman Phil 

Clearwater said heritage 

buildings were representative of 

$76k grant for St Albans villa 

RENEW: More than $76,000 has been earmarked to restore an 

1899 St Albans villa to its former glory. 

“our place and our identity”. 

“It’s important to set a 

framework for their retention 

so that we continue to link the 

present with the past.”

Piesse, a local entrepreneur.

1940s. 

Her father Clovis Sisson owned 

a 16 acre (6.5ha) block of land 

in Harewood Rd, the frontage 

running between what is now 

Wilmot St and the lot now occupied 

by Palmer Funeral Services. 

Their holding extended back to 

Langdons Rd 

The business almost foundered 

during the depression. Nola 

recalled that on some occasions 

apples were dumped, although 

the main problem was the high 

level of debt taken on to acquire 

the property in more prosperous 

times in the 1920s. 

However, even in the depths 

of depression, the demand for 

black currants remained strong 

and Nola’s job, even as an 11 

and 12-year-old, was to organise 

groups of children in harvesting 

this crop. 

In spite of an increase in

THE DRAFT plan for the future 

of the red zone is expected to be 

made public before the end of 

the year. 

In its quarterly report, Regenerate 

Christchurch revealed the 

draft Otakaro Avon River Corridor 

Regeneration Plan would be 

made public by late-December. 

“Regenerate Christchurch advises 

the draft Regeneration Plan 

is forecast to be publicly notified 

between mid-November and 

late-December,” the report said. 

Once released and public 

feedback gathered, the draft plan 

will then be approved by Minister 

for Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration Megan Woods 

before it is finalised. 

It comes after The Star 

revealed Regenerate had spent 

nearly $500,000 on the exhibition 

used to gather public 

demand for apples during the 

war years, profitability remained 

marginal due to the need to keep 

up the steep mortgage payments. 

Eventually a Government offer 

to buy the land for state housing 

was gratefully accepted. 

In 1949, Nola shifted to Rangiora 

as a consequence of her 

marriage to Frank Murfitt, a race 

horse trainer based in that area. 

The couple had a family of four 

daughters and, after the death 

of her husband, Nola returned 

to her roots in Papanui and is 

currently a resident at a local 

retirement home. 

Nola still retains vivid memories 

of her life on the orchard and 

fondly remembers her school 

experiences and the making of 

enduring friendships at Waimairi 

School and Papanui Technical 

College. 

She also recalls summer holidays 

when the family would load 

their picnic lunches (and several 

barrels of beer) on to a truck and 

head for Stewarts Gully for a big 

day out. 

Plan for red zone 

feedback which will develop the 

draft plan. 

“There are always costs involved 

with public engagement 

but, given the scale and longterm 

significance of our work, 

we believe this investment is 

important to ensure our work is 

informed by the views and aspirations 

of the community,” chief 

executive Ivan Iafeta said. 

He said the five-week 

exhibition and engagement was 

one of the “most significant” 

public engagements since the 

earthquakes. 

It is estimated developing the 

red zone would cost $800 million 

over 30 years. 

That includes $153 million for 

the 11km green spine, which 

emerged as the favourite option 

from the exhibition. The red 

zone is expected to bring billions 

of dollars in to the economy.

Trying out artistic skills 

RICHMOND’S ELLA Warren 

(right) thought the Christchurch 

Art Gallery was a pretty cool 

place to be during the school 

holidays. 

And that’s because the St 

Albans Catholic Primary School 

pupil wanted to paint some masterpieces 

of her own. 

From now until Sunday – 

along with Labour Day weekend 

– anyone can go into the space 

and pick up a paintbrush to help 

create a massive piece of public 

art on the Art Gallery’s walls. 

Titled Wall to Wall, the event 

presents the opportunity to be 

involved in a “colossal public 

paint-out” of one of the downstairs 

galleries. 

“This is where the art starts,” 

acting Art Gallery director Amy 

Harrington said. 

Ms Harrington said the next 

famous work that would be 

hanging in the art gallery in 20 

years could be done by some of 

the young artists decorating the 

walls today. 

The art gallery was painting 

over the four walls every day to 

make space for new creations. 

“So everyone gets their chance 

to paint,” she said. 

The space was proving so 

popular, Ms Harrington said 

there are lines out the door most 

mornings. 

The exhibition is open from 

11am to 4pm every day. 

“We are encouraging everyone 

to grab a brush and bring your 

perspective to this special art 

space,” Ms Harrington said. 

“We aim to create an immersive 

gallery where everyone – no 

matter your age – can take a collaborative 

approach to art.” 

The work comes in conjunction 

with the opening of SCAPE 

Public Art’s 20th anniversary 

season, which opened on Friday 

and will run for six weeks. 

The trust has installed 216 

temporary artworks and 14 

permanent artworks in the city, 

since its formation in 1998. 

Some of the most notable 

works include Nucleus by 

Phil Price on the corner of 

Manchester, High and Lichfield 

Sts, Fanfare by Neil Dawson at 

Chaneys Corner and Passing 

Time by Anton Parsons on 

Madras St.

Now 

Age is no barrier to city cycling 


EACH DAY in Christchurch 

thousands of people use bicycles 

for their commute, for fitness, 

or just for fun. An increasing 

number of those people are of 

advancing years. 

St Albans retiree Jean Bell 

returned to cycling last year after 

a long period without a bike. “I 

was encouraged to try an e-bike, 

and I was soon hooked on it,” 

she said. 

“It’s just so handy,” Jean explained. 

“I’m surprised by how far I can 

cycle when in the car the same 

distance feels like a long way.’’ 

Visiting friends, attending 

meetings, hairdresser and doctor 

appointments – Jean travels to 

them all by bike. 

“It’s much easier to park my 

bike than park the car,” she said. 

“Now, driving with just one 

person in my car feels decadent; 

a bit naughty.” 

The city’s geography 

lends itself to getting around by 

bike. 

“Unlike Wellington or Auckland, 

in Christchurch you have 

a choice – cycle on the flat or 

test yourself on the Port Hills,” 

explains Julie Milne, who recently 

cycled the length of New 

Zealand to raise awareness of 

stroke sufferers. 

Julie rides to work year-round 

on her modified bicycle; two 

childhood strokes left her with 

restricted arm movement. 

“Cycling is my physical upkeep,” 

she said. 

“It improves my quality of getting 

older. If I don’t bike, I seize 

up, which then means I can’t 

bike. So, I keep biking.” 

Julie will be sharing her experiences 

at the NZ Bike Expo 

(Saturday and Sunday). 

This cornerstone event of 

the Biketober festival is where 

cyclists of all ages can gather to 

celebrate the cycle. 

“The expo brings the cycling 

industry and the Christchurch 

community together,” said event 

organiser Krissy O’Connor. 

“It places cycling events, test 

rides, and community groups 

alongside commercial exhibitors. 

It’s a very hands-on weekend of 

everything bike-related.” 

For Christchurch residents 

who perhaps haven’t explored 

much of the new-look central 

city, Saturday’s Pedal into Spring 

extravaganza of Biketober offers 

twelve themed, self-guided rides 

to choose from. Cafés, shops, 

playgrounds, art, a family treasure 

hunt – there’s a route for all ages. 

“If you haven’t been on a bike 

for a while,” says Julie Milne, 

“start on a cycleway and go from 

there. You’re safe. Cycling is 

lovely.”

CBHS take out team time trial 

CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High 

upset their rivals to claim the 

prestigious Sir Bernard Fegusson 

Trophy at the New Zealand road 

cycling championships. 

The CBHS team took out the 

trophy by winning the under 20 

national time trial at Loburn. 

The 51st edition of the 

championships drew 601 riders 

from 100 schools over the threeday 

competition, which finished 

last Monday. As well as the team 

time trial, it included road and 

points races. 

It was the first time the event 

has been staged in the South 

Island. 

CBHS’s Laurence Pithie, 

Griffyn Spencer, Josh Rivett, 

Logan Currie and Guy Yarrell 

crossed the finish line 11sec 

ahead of Palmerston North 

Boys’ High School, with 

defending champions Auckland 

Grammar School in third. 

CBHS teacher and team 

manager Gary McNaughton said 

the team were motivated to do 

well in their home region. 

“We went out and rode the 

course two weeks ago and felt 

confident we could do well. The 

guys have given it everything in 

their last few training sessions,” 

he said. 

“We have a few guys peaking 

for this as their final preparation 

before representing New 

Zealand at the Oceania track 

championships in Adelaide in a 

couple of weeks time.”

and having a game. Burleigh 

said it was nice to spend time 

with the young fans. 

“It was great to meet the 

next generation of enthusiastic 

young rugby players, to run 

through some skills training 

with them, and answer 

questions they have about what 

we do,” Burleigh said. 

“This group was really 

engaged and keen to learn, so 

we enjoyed taking the time out 

to connect with them. I hope 

the knowledge we passed 

on will help them get the 

most out of their rugby in the 

future.” 

The players put the boys 

through some training drills, 

finishing with a mock game in 

which three boys were each put 

into a team with a Canterbury 

player, while the third player 

was the referee. 

Canterbury will meet 

Counties Manukau at Pukekohe 

in the Mitre 10 Cup on 

Saturday.

cyclists claim national titles 

Papanui rider 

wins his 

age group 

• By Jacob Page 

RYAN MACLEOD pedalled past 

his rivals to win the under-16 

boys title at the national road 

cycling championships at Loburn 

last week. 

The talented 15-year-old 

from Papanui High School made 

four attack attempts before 

finally securing the break he 

needed to go on and win the 

event. 

“It didn’t bother me that I 

came back to the 

pack so often,” he 

said. 

“The first time 

I just wanted to 

see what would 

happen and who 

Ryan 

Macleod 

would come with 

me if I made a 

break.” 

His time of 

52min 53sec was more than 1sec 

clear of Westlake Boys’ High 

School’s Marcus Bycroft. 

“I’d ridden the track a few 

times in the week before the race 

just to see where the best places 

to attack were and it worked out,” 

he said. Ryan said his plan for 

CHAMPION: Papanui High School’s Ryan Macleod (right) was

the race played out perfectly. He 

splits his time between mountain 

biking, the track and road 

cycling. 

He will compete at the 

South Island mountain bike 

championships in Dunedin, 

which start on Friday, before 

embarking on his summer 

track campaign based at Denton 

Park. 

Ryan’s coach Hamish Ferguson 

described him as “an incredibly 

motivated kid”. 

Ryan has won medals on 

the track for Canterbury and 

continues to excel across the 

three disciplines. 

“We took Ryan away to track 

nationals last year as a bit of 

development experiment, and 

he did so well that he ended up 

being in the Canterbury A team 

pursuit and winning golf there,” 

Ferguson said. 

“For someone who only 

took up track cycling last year, 

he’s produced some great 

results,” 

Ryan said he loved all three 

disciplines but one day would 

like to race professionally 

overseas and compete on some of 

the big European tours. 

Rangi student comes out 

on top of under-16 event 

• By Jacob Page 

RANGI RURU cyclist Charlotte 

Spurway’s one-time weakness 

has turned into a national titlewinning 

strength. 

The 15-year-old, who lives in 

Fendalton, won the under-16 

girls title at the national road 


She has competed in 

triathlons regularly but when 

she was out injured two years 

ago her focus changed. 

“Out of the swim, bike and 

run the bike was always my 

weakest area, but when I was 

injured, that was the only thing 

I could do regularly.” 

Charlotte said she was thrilled 

to claim her first national title in 

a sprint finish. 

She won in a time of 1hr 21sec 

with a sprint finish at the end of 

the 35km race. 

“I’d had a few training rides 

on it leading up to the race and 

because it was so flat, I knew 

that creating a breakaway 

would be tough so I just gave it 

everything I had in that final 

sprint.” 

Charlotte went away with the 

New Zealand under-17 road 

team to Adelaide in April for 

the Australian nationals in a

development capacity. She said 

it was something she hopes to 

do again next year. 

She also hopes to continue 

competing in triathlons over 

summer, as well as take a more 

active role in track cycling. 

“I think the road cycling has 

started to gain more of my focus 

though,” she said. 

“I don’t have any big goals, I 

just want to see how far I can 

go.”
