The rain stopped just long enough for the 82 racers participating in the New Zealand Singlespeed Championships to compete. Garth Weinberg and Anya McDonald took the open men's and women's titles.
They were fastest over five laps of a 6-kilometer course at the 7 Mile Reserve Venue. Each lap contained 330m of climbing.
Racers faced an unusual start, with a 1km run with their front wheel.
