OUR COACHES
Gordon McCauley
HEAD COACH // AUCKLAND
Born in Balclutha, New Zealand in 1972, Gordy grew up in Otago in New Zealands South Island and started cycling as a 14 year old after watching New Zealand cycling legend Brian Fowler take a silver medal in the 1986 Commonwealth Games road race.
His first race as a schoolboy was far from the winning form that we see today. The event was a 16km team time trial, and Gordy was dropped near the beginning and finished a long way behind his teammates.
Despite his less than glamorous start to racing, Gordon trained and developed into one of New Zealand’s own cycling legendsThroughout his illustrious career Gordon has won the men's New Zealand road race championships a record five times, plus the New Zealand Time Trial championships a record three times. He also has the honour of being the first ever New Zealander to break the 50 minute barrier for the 40km Time Trial with a time of 49 mins, 50 sec recorded at the 2006 Commonwealth Games.
He is also the only rider ever to hold New Zealand National Road, Time Trial and Criterium Titles (although on different years).
