Crank It Cycles

Crank It Cycles part timer and NZ Representative James Dobson placed 3rd in the Lake Taupo Classic race held on Saturday. This was a very creditable effort from James, who has been building up following a break due to illness. We're all proud of his acheivement, done wearing a Crank It jersey and riding a Trek Madone 6.5 supplied by Crank It Cycles and Trek Bicycles NZ.

James holds off the chasing bunch

Perfect riding conditions saw an in-form Gordon McCauley take first place in the 160 kilometre classic race with Jeremy Yates second and James third. James also took the prize for the first under-23 rider home.
