Sunday recreational ride route survey results

by Vaughan Hunt | Aug 25, 2022 | News

Recently we change the planning of the Sunday Recreational Rides so that the ride coordinators chose the courses on the day.
We promised to get your feedback on that change. Here are the results:

In the survey responses, it was clear that ride routes published ahead of time are preferred, however you also said change on the day is OK, giving the ride coordinators some flexibility.

We will start publishing the planned routes again in the weekly newsletter, but the actual route on the day is still the coordinator’s choice. Weather, wind direction, sunstrike, even the group makeup or just the coordinator’s preference are all valid reasons for a change of route.

Changes to the Sunday Ride Route Planning

by Vaughan Hunt | Jun 18, 2022 | News

As you probably know, BikeManawatu organises a bunch ride every Sunday. Recently the Sunday ride organisers agreed to trial a new way to choose the routes.

Up till now, Mike Keenan and Ken Young maintained a list of paired rides, using routes from the list of rides on the website, and Vaughan would include these in the weekly newsletter.

However we would like to give the ride organisers more freedom to choose the ride routes based on weather conditions, wind direction, sunstrike etc.  Maybe even with some input from the riders at Memorial Park on the day.

So from next week we won’t be publicising the routes in the newsletter ahead of time and they will be selected on the day.

This is a trial and we will be soliciting your feedback in a few weeks.
