Wellington s
blue ribbon track cycling record has been broken for the
first time in over two and a half years by Pat
Crowe-Rishworth who notched up 42.229km on the newly
resurfaced Wellington Velodrome in Hataitai last Friday, 18
December.
The record requires riders to cover as many
laps as possible in 60 minutes, and is one of the most
famously punishing events in track cycling. Crowe-Rishworth,
29, added a slender 40m to the mark laid down in 2017 by
Emile Goguley.
Setting off on Friday evening with
breezey northerlies, Crowe-Rishworth had a tight schedule to
keep, aiming for 28.2second lap splits on the 333.3m long
