Another fine night and more new faces. The use of the Horizons yard as an assembly point has worked very well.
next week we move to Linton Army Camp for a 4 week series of crit racing.
If you have gained points in the time trial series prizemoney for this will be awarded at the end of series prizegiving at Linton at the end of the 4 weeks.
Thanks to our helpers on the night Kirsty Kaihau at the turn point, Judith Elliot, Lenka Martin and Matt Levin on the start line and finish line.
Full explanation of how the crit races will work will be explained at next weeks breifing, but to give you an indication the races will be either 10 minutes plus one lap or 15 mins plus 1 lap.etc depending on the race that you are assigned to. Riders will be assigned to a race depending on the ave speed that they achieved in the time trial series. There will be at least 1 if not 2 sprints within each race and points will be awarded for intermediate sprints as well as the finish. Points will be totalled over the 4 weeks similar to the time trial series points. 1 point for riding as a minimum.
Full results for week 4 time trial available here.

My name is Jonas Froetschl and I am in my last year of school here in
Wellington.
As a year-long assignment I am researching road cycling in New Zealand
with the aim to promote New Zealand as a cycle holiday destination to an
international audience.
I have designed a few questions to find out how you, the cyclist, feels
on New Zealand roads. Answering these questions will help me progress my
research and hopefully lead to me making a valuable contribution to
cycling and tourism in New Zealand.
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated (will only take
2 minutes),
Please find the link to my survey below:

P.S. If you have any further information that could support my project
please email me at Jonasfroetschl@gmail.com I would be more than happy
to hear from you.

Club Administrators Portal Update
– Our providers have run several fixes on known bugs this week that have been affecting club membership reports. These fixes have no implication on financial settlement for which data is received from DPS. We have asked that our providers supply us with up-to-date reports for each club giving accurate membership for the period of Nov 15 – Feb 14. These reports are expected on Friday 15thFebruary, and will be distributed as soon as they are received. Our apologies to all club administrators who have been unduly stressed as a result of the reporting issues.
– The portal is currently live in beta and we have been getting valuable feedback from a group of administrators currently accessing it including Bike Manawatu.
Insurance update
– A reminder that all 2012 affiliated clubs continue to be affiliated at tier two level until 31 March 2013, by which point affiliation documents will be distributed by BikeNZ for consideration by your club.
– A copy of the current BikeNZ Liability insurance package has been attached. Specific details of coverage can be found page 7 of the “BikeNZ Liability Insurance Package” document.
Membership cards
– Members who joined in, or prior to, January, should have now have membership cards. We are aware of some members receiving multiple cards and we are looking into this.
– To send the membership cards we require a valid postal address. Please ensure that you and your club members have a valid address in both the “address” and “delivery address” sections on their online profiles.
Club Road National Championships
– The course, programme and pricing are pending final approval, which is expected this week. The course will take in some magnificent vistas for riders through some of the most spectacular scenery in the world.
– The proposed programme is available to view on the event page here: http://www.bikenz.org.nz/Event?Action=View&Event_id=92
– Lakes Leisure are providing great in-kind and infrastructure support. They will hold naming rights for the u15 – 17 junior grades.
We thank you again for your patience during all the technical difficulties – we’re nearly there!
