Track Chit Chat – With Ian Gray

by | Oct 31, 2014 | Track Cycling

GREAT NEWS! The track has been relined!

The fresh paint makes the track more positive and safer to ride on. All handicap marks have also been numbered on the track thanks, to Manawatu District Council for funding this project- much appreciated.

Rider of the day award for the first meeting went to Zoe Croton for positive winning rides. Last Sunday John Stewart picked Dylan Simpson for his positive style of riding and being prepared to try to break away from strong riders.

The best race of the day last Sunday was the A grade 1 lap scratch race between Liam Brown, Cam Stewart, Carne Groube and Mitchell Kinghorn. It was a real sizzler of a ride by Liam Brown, who went straight to the front out of the blocks and held the others out! His official time of 30.9 seconds was probably the third fastest 1 lap recorded on the Feilding track- well done Liam!

The standard of safe riding has been very good, so to all riders keep it up!

LATE ANNOUNCEMENT: WCNI Road Championships to be held at Wanganui on the 11km Brunswick Circuit next Saturday 8th November.

Equipment from trailer

by | Oct 30, 2014 | Archive(News)

The club trailer is often taken to events and equipment is used. Inside the trailer there has been cones, hi viz vests, stands for signs, signs, sand bags and finish flags as well as other bits and pieces.

Over time some of these items have been removed and not returned.

We are shortly going to be undertaking a full stocktake of all of the BM equipment that is either in the trailer, Feilding clubrooms or at Marist clubrooms. So if you have some equipment that you are storing in your garage that should be in the trailer or elsewhere can you please get in contact with either Steve Stannard 021 809 597 or Glenys Taylor  021 260 5536 or email secretary@bikemanawatu.co.nz and let them know what you have and where it can be collected from or drop it off to Sport Manawatu 50 Queen St Palmerston North. .
