alex@bigboywebsites.co.nz (Alex Mann) — Wed, 27 Oct 2021 19:23:33 GMT

Marc Prutton, founder of PT Systems, may be one of New Zealand’s most successful but low-profile professional endurance sport coaches.

Born and raised around endurance sports, Marc Prutton’s passion for bike sports and intrigue for how the human body performs has inspired him to help riders get the most out of their training for the past 12 years. With a balance of racing experience and education, Marc’s approach to coaching is unique. He is the current U19 National Road coach and one of the few New Zealand cycling coaches to hold a UCI Level 3 coaching Diploma from the WCC in Switzerland.

Warm Up Cycling

alex@bigboywebsites.co.nz (Alex Mann) — Mon, 10 May 2021 05:41:49 GMT

Established in 2009, Warmup Cycling has at its core a group of friends who all enjoy riding and racing together.

The groups focus is about "enjoying the shared experience of being on bikes together", supporting each other and our sponsors - Warmup NZ and enthuse media & events - and enjoying a coffee together.

Currently we enjoy our Sunday morning bunch rides (leaving from Fava Cafe in St Martins at 8am) as we have evolved more into a social group with less of a focus on racing; this can be translated into ‘we’ve got a bit older with changing priorities’ :-)

Since our first 'official race’ as a team in FEB 2009 we competed in the Benchmark and Calder Stewart series, Nelson’s Tour de Vineyard’s and Queenstown’s Tour de Lakes and racing in Canterbury with individual riders also racing in events throughout the country, including the NZ Club Nationals where team members were successful making the podium.

Sharing the ride as Warmup Cycling are Rob Woodgate, Tom Molloy, Kelly Chapman, John McKenzie, Darron Burns, David Roche, Stephen Mark, Glen Quantock, Mark Forsey, Greg Scott, Al Bush, Greg Manson, Stu Wise, Gerard Rooney, Kent Mahon and Sarah Hely

Optimal Performance

alex@bigboywebsites.co.nz (Alex Mann) — Mon, 10 May 2021 02:56:19 GMT

PHYSIOTHERAPY

Our team currently includes four physiotherapists: Anthony, Katie, Harry and Charlotte. We are here to keep you on the road, court, field, track or in the pool and guide you successfully through injury to complete your event. We specialise in sporting injuries and those difficult chronic injuries that have failed to respond to treatment in the past.

We want to help you get better for whatever your goal is, be it return to work, to function better in your day to day activities, train with your friends, walk your dog or compete at your first ever event or in the world champs.

BIKEFIT

In a program designed to help you ride more comfortably, faster and for longer, Anthony brings his sports physiotherapy experience to specifically analyse your riding and bike setup. We analyse the setup of your bike, and combine this with video footage recorded from all angles as you ride to ensure your bike setup is maximising your performance.

The video footage is analysed and compared to your body, any injuries, your bike measurements, your cleat placement and your cycling event/goal. Suggestions are then made to make you more comfortable, decrease injury risk and increase performance

MASSAGE

Sports Massage Therapist, Vic Chapman, is here to keep you on the road, field, track or in the pool and ease your muscles to keep you performing at your optimal level. Vic is trained in Brandon Raynor Therapy as well as being a Registered Nurse. All of our physio’s also offer massage as part of your treatment or as a standalone option as well. Katie is also Raynor trained.

Hands on strong massage therapy aimed at decreasing tension through your muscles to allow you to move easier or perform better, stronger or faster. We also offer flushes for during or close to events to help the muscles recover for the next session.

Hamish Ferguson Coaching

alex@bigboywebsites.co.nz (Alex Mann) — Mon, 10 May 2021 02:07:39 GMT

Hamish Ferguson

Hamish started racing bikes in 1984, competing at a National level in U17, U19 and Elite. After a modest career featuring six A grade victories, his career was curtailed by injury. At this stage he was quickly snapped up by cyclists as a Coach in 1991. Before long he was producing National Champions and being awarded National Coaching roles.

While taking on the challenges of coaching, he completed Coaching Qualifications here and in Australia. In 1995 Hamish completed a BA in Psychology, and in 2015 was awarded a Masters Degree for research into the use of Power Meters to model the long term fitness of Elite Road Cyclists. Since 1991 he has coached riders to 71 National Titles, 17 UCI World Level Medals, two Olympians and has twice won Cycling NZ Coach of the Year for Road and Track Coaching

As a coach Hamish works with Road, Track, Cross Country, Enduro and Downhill Cyclists. He blends a combination of sport science based practice with his many years of coaching experience to develop a comprehensive programme for cyclists. He starts with defining purpose, then visualising performance, preparing relentlessly before providing support to compete with distinction. Talk to Hamish today about why everyone who works with him makes outstanding performance gains.

Hamish is a huge asset to the coaching team at Roulston. We are really pleased to have him on board as we aim to put more athletes on podiums. Together we will provide an unrivaled and high quality service to help our athletes realise their full potential and achieve their goals.

Roulston Coaching

alex@bigboywebsites.co.nz (Alex Mann) — Mon, 10 May 2021 02:00:01 GMT

Coaching is about making a positive difference in athlete’s lives and cycling careers. I have a huge amount of experience, both on and off the bike, and am extremely passionate about coaching.

It doesn’t matter what level you are at or how big or small your goals are, I have the skills and knowledge to help you achieve your goals.

My motivation is to elevate you to the next level and help you achieve your goals, using knowledge gained from decades of racing and coaching professionally at the highest levels in the sport.

For me there is nothing better than seeing an athlete succeed and learn something along the way that they will take with them for life.

Terry Gyde Coaching

alex@bigboywebsites.co.nz (Alex Mann) — Sun, 09 May 2021 20:12:40 GMT

I love coaching and helping develop riders, whether they are young or old.

I have coached riders to win masters world titles, Junior World titles and medals, UCI Gran Fondo medals, National titles, Oceania titles, National records since returning to coaching domestically and to be honest I enjoy it more now, because of the people whom I coach…we are a successful happy group who love riding, racing and achieving our goals.

alex@bigboywebsites.co.nz (Alex Mann) — Fri, 09 Apr 2021 22:24:47 GMT

GrapeRide 24th April 2021

Starting from wine central in Renwick on the Wairau plains, the course passes the outskirts of Blenheim, Marlborough’s largest centre before turning north past the regenerating wetlands of the Para swamp and onward to Marlborough’s maritime hub in scenic Picton. From there you’ll enter the glorious scenery of the Queen Charlotte Drive around the top ends of the Queen Charlotte and Pelorus Sounds, arriving in the green-lip mussel capital, Havelock. From there it’s a final roll down State Highway 6 through forestry and dairying areas before crossing the Wairau river and returning to The Vines Village for all the treats that await.

The mountain bike course is a challenging jaunt through varied features of the Wairau river bed taking in beautiful views up the Wairau valley and across the plains to the Southern Valleys. Best suited to beginner to intermediate riders, the course includes a number of different surfaces and some twisting singletrack through an established pine plantation. Starting and finishing at The Vines Village, the short (20km) and long (40km) courses offer something for everyone.

Around Brunner Cycle Ride

alex@bigboywebsites.co.nz (Alex Mann) — Fri, 09 Apr 2021 22:12:06 GMT

Around Brunner Cycle Ride - Saturday 1st May 2021

2019 saw Around Brunner have a major change, with the Start and Finish being at Moana Hotel Lake Brunner. This was a huge success and will remain this way now.

This changes the race significantly and eliminates the traffic issues in central Greymouth and the old Taramakau Rail Bridge is no longer with a brand new bridge across the Taramakua which you won't even notice as a bridge. This makes this iconic event a brand new race.

Both the Around Brunner 130km and Enduro 260km will be held.

This fantastic event is in its 14th year.

Around Brunner caters for all competitors from the Elite rider through to the Recreational Rider with age group categories throughout. We'll even cater for those that want to ride their e-Bike in the event, as this keeps so many riders active. Riding an e-Bike means you're non-competitive but still doing the event and eligible for spot prizes.

Around Brunner started as a 130km sealed circuit cycle ride taking you through some of the most stunning scenery New Zealand has to offer. In 2015 the Enduro, 2 laps of the traditional ride being 260km was introduced and in 2019 the change of the start/finish to Moana Lake Brunner.

The Teams event will still be held with the changeover at Kumara Domain.

The final race of the season is held over a 16km open road circuit, and is one mass start scratch race, so come race with the 'guns' you could even organise an impromptu team and give it a crack.
