Methven Girls on Bikes - 2010

The ski crazy town of Methven in inland Canterbury was geared up to deal with an invasion of women! Lots and lots of them from all over the country, women cyclists will descend on the town for the inaugural Brazier Properties "Girls On Bikes road cycling event. A few years ago it was Oscar winning Peter Jackson directing the action as Lord of the Rings was shot in the area, this time around its award winning race team from Top of the South Events calling the shots as the all girl fields set off on circuits of 37 or 76km, catering to newcomers to organised cycling as well as the more proficient. The stunning Southern Alps are the picture perfect backdrop to these beautiful courses. This great event will occur again make sure you take part next time.... While the short course of 37km has little in the way of ups and downs, it will present a challenge to novices with the Canterbury Norwester always ready to throw a little extra into the challenge. The longer course of 76km is more of a challenge and is an option for all well trained recreational riders as well as catering for A, B, C and D grade licensed club riders.
