About the Club
North Harbour Cycling Club is a volunteer organisation committed to the promotion of cycling as a competitive and recreational sport. Its enjoyment and challenge, being for people of all ages. We help provide members with opportunities to train and compete in road and track cycling.
History
The club is based on the North shore of Auckland with currently 45 active members. It was one of the original five cycle clubs based in Auckland. Formed in 1984, when it amalgamated with some of the other clubs (Rangitoto and Takapuna which had established in the 1930’s) to become a separate entity as it is today. Originally club racing was held out at Taupaki North West of Auckland. With the new regulations for road closure the club no longer is able to run regular club road racing. Now the club has a focus on two main events a year; the North Harbour Junior Tour and the weekly summer criteriums. We now are also providing the Auckland Criterium Championship in Novmber, one week before the National Criterium held in Takapuna.
Aims
The aim of the club is to promote the sport of cycling both on the road and track, to support cyclists in their endeavours and to provide interesting and challenging events to suit all ages and abilities.The club is actively involved in all levels of cycle racing with members representing New Zealand internationally at both junior and senior level.
