Message from the Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker
Christchurch is proud to once again be hosting this exciting event
on our city streets. This is not just a brilliant race – it’s also a fun
recreational ride where cyclists can get alongside and be inspired
by the best cycling athletes New Zealand has to offer. And even
though this is a great race, it’s also a summer fun day for all the
family. So come along, enjoy the entertainment and watch the
race. With over 130,000 people participating in cycling each year in
Christchurch, this event has become an important one for cyclists
and Cantabrians – so let’s all get out there and enjoy the ride.
Bob Parker, Mayor of Christchurch.
Message from BikeNZ Road & Track President Ivan Aplin
Welcome to the 2012 Calder Stewart Elite Road National
Championships. We thank the Christchurch City Council for
their support once again. 2013 will bring out yet again the
many hundreds of volunteers that unselfishly give their time
to the sport, we value your contribution. BikeNZ Road and
Track extend our appreciation to Calder Stewart, new principal
sponsor for the event and long term supporters of cycling. To the
athletes we wish you every success for safe and exciting races.
Race with distinction and good sportsmanship and look forward
to seeing 3 worthy champions. All the best,
Ivan Aplin, President, BikeNZ Road & Track
