Across the Finish Line is the most extensive list of New Zealand cycling race results, with every major race, every winner and significant records over the past 142 years. Amateur or professional, mountain bike, BMX, track or road – no stone is left unturned.
Over 15 years in the making, with the help of a team of New Zealand cycle historians, this compendium includes all the cycling greats; Sarah Ulmer, George Bennett, Ellesse Andrews and hundreds more. From early career wins on these shores to podiums on the world stage, all are scrupulously recorded by authors Jonathan Kennett and Ian Gray.
Who is our first major cycling record holder? Where was the first national mountain bike race held? How has cycling evolved since the first recorded race held in 1884?
Across the Finish Line has put this all to paper and is a valuable record of New Zealand’s cycling history.
Compiled by Jonathan Kennett and Ian Gray.
