PAGE 4 / CYCLING NEW ZEALAND ANNUAL REPORT 2018 CHAIR TONY MITCHELL I love cycling. I love the freedom it gave me as a kid to explore and play, the transportation option it provided in my teenage years, the new sporting challenge in my twenties and beyond, the community, and the ability to give back to others. I am proud of Cycling New Zealand’s ambitious vision of inspiring New Zealanders to ride across all codes and at all levels. We strive to achieve this by investing in high performance programmes, athletes, sporting pathways and community initiatives. 2018 saw our organisation and sporting community enjoy the highs of successes as well as endure a challenging period. We have emerged from 2018 as a stronger and more empathetic organisation that focuses on people and performance equally. Inspiring through winning on the world stage is a key part of our strategy and in April at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast our high performance team of men and women did just that on the road, track and mountain bike course. This was New Zealand’s best performance for cycling at a Commonwealth Games. Seventeen medals in total with seven from our women and 10 from our men. The platform was set for 2018 to be a watershed year for performance, then came the reminder for many sports in New I would like to thank our principal partner APL for their Zealand and around the world that how you achieve the results continued support of our sport and for being a true partner is equally as important as what is achieved.
