Bruce Ross' lifetime of service to the sport of cycling was recognised over King's Birthday weekend with the King's Service Medal. We take the chance to reflect of his time at the helm of the country's longest running and most prestigious cycle race, the Tour of Southland along with some great stories from the racing and the bike riders he has witnessed.
Before then, Logan, Nathan and Nick look back at a great occassion (if not result) for the Southern Steel, a vital win for the Southland Sharks and the strong showing from Southland schools in the Southern Schools Rugby competition.
