We cycle all year round, with organised group rides every Sunday morning. Our rides go over varied courses around the Manawatu district.
All rides start at 8:00am at Memorial Park, Napier Rd, Palmerston North.
Usually there will be 2 rides:
- Long Rides – covering 75-85km
- Medium Rides – covering 55-65km
There is usually a choice of faster or slower groups to suit all abilities.
Recreational Ride Routes
We have over 80 routes around the Manawatu that we regulary use
Ride Etiquette
Riding in a bunch can be the most enjoyable experience if done in the right way. However, bunch riding can also be a huge pain if people in the group don’t understand the rules.
