THE 2026 - 27 TRUST HOUSE  TEAMS SERIES

Dear Cyclists,

Due to the continued lack of entries and the withdrawal of sponsorship, I have made the decision — after 12 years — to cancel the Teams Series for good. There is no value in chasing riders to enter, nor in running events where teams register 10–12 riders and only 3 or 4 turn up on race day.

Throughout the years I have always aimed to deliver professional, well‑run races. Unfortunately, I cannot provide that standard for the 2026 series under the current circumstances.

I want to acknowledge and thank those who consistently supported the series regardless of numbers — teams such as WCNI, who at times had to create a race among themselves, as well as the Wairarapa, Wellington and Manawatu teams. Your commitment has always been appreciated.

I wish everyone all the best. And to those who train regularly but don’t enter races, I encourage you to support events and take part. If riders don’t participate, more events — like this one — will disappear forever.
