🚴♀️ Wishing Manawatū Track Cyclist, RTTB Participant and Scholarship Recipient, Emily Shearman, all the best in Glasgow as she competes on the world stage this evening in the 4000m team pursuit qualifier alongside her teammates.
Tune into the Commonwealth Games coverage at 9.15 pm this evening to cheer on these incredibly talented athletes as they represent New Zealand on the track and tomorrow evening for a shot at a podium finish if they make it through tonight's qualifier.
How amazing would it be for the team to secure a medal, to pair with their Silver from the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.🥈
Emily will also be competing tomorrow at 9.30 pm in the Individual Pursuit. Do us proud, Emily; you've got this! 👊

🧡 A heartfelt thank you to all competitors, support crew, volunteers, sponsors and everyone else behind the scenes for achieving another successful Race to the Brewery event in February!
We can now officially say that just over $50K was raised from this years event, which will all go directly back into our community supporting charities and volunteer services. Don't know about you, but we think that's pretty awesome!
Pat yourselves on the back guys, as this would not be possible without your participation and support! 🙏
