Cycling | Winter Tournament Week
The Northern Tour took place over the weekend, with 15 riders from the Diocesan Cycling Squad competing in this two-day, three-race event.

Saturday opened with an individual time trial, followed by the challenging Mount Wellington hill climb.

On Sunday, riders were set to take on the Criterium race; however, due to weather conditions, racing was cancelled for the U16 and older age groups.

Despite the disruption, the squad achieved fantastic results, with many personal bests, top-10 finishes, and multiple podiums – a true reflection of their hard work and commitment.
