Sunday 20 February saw the first of a club event to cater for as many members as possible. The sunday bunch ride came for coffee to Ashhurst school, the Saturday club race was pushed one day forward to Sunday with start and finish in Ashhurst and the first training/race for school cycling Manawatu kicked off in Ashhurst. Goal to let all members of Bike Manawatu mix and mingle over coffee. Good weather good numbers good coffee from mobile coffee maker Ruanui MacDonald and nice muffins made it in a very enjoyable morning of cycling. Thanks Glenys and Susan.
Here are the results for the club race. Thanks to all the people who put their hands up to help run the event. Turn marshals, sweep wagon, start finish, registration etc. Very much appreciated!

While the sun was out in a clear sky the moderate to strong southeast wind made conditions challenging for the riders and cold in the shaded areas for spectators. The stellar landing tonight of Simon van Velthooven the multiple medal winner at January’s track cycling World cup in Beijing added the star power to what was a small turnout of 17 riders. Simon offered the opportunity to those present to purchase some of his extensive New Zealand team kit, judging by the popularity of the offer we will be having a number of riders getting a little extra attention from motorists and spectators as they pedal their bikes on and off the track.

The Patricia Fraser Memorial Trail project aims to create a safe off-road cycling and walking route for recreational users and commuters linking Ashhurst and the Manawatu Gorge from the city.
The intention is to present a petition to the Palmerston North City Council to urge them to prioritise this project.
They need your support to make this proposal a reality
