Last year there was a lot of discussion around which cafes cyclists are and aren’t allowed to enjoy there favourite espresso at.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a cafe that not only welcomed cyclists no matter what they were wearing but also recognised them as a special customer by giving them extra discounts.
This is now available for Bike Manawatu members.
Notice for everyone that has previously done Wednesday night time trials at Kairanga. Please note that we will no longer be assembling at Kairanga School Hall.
We now have access to the Horizons yard opposite the start line and so this will be where the registrations are taken.
This will minimise the effect of people having to cross Rongotea Rd and allow an assembly point well off the road prior to the time trials starting.
It is that time of the year and if you want a new set of kit for the upcoming NZ Club champs in Wanaka you need to place your order now.
Order has been sent and will be delivered at the beginning of April. Only a handful of extra items were ordered so if you missed the cut off date please send an email urgently to secure your order out of the extra items ordered.
Sizing chart can be viewed on the Tineli website 
We will be ordering short sleeve jerseys, aero jerseys, bib shorts, skinsuits, and long sleeve jerseys.
A reminder about the Wanganui Track Carnival that is on this Sunday at 1.00pm.
Also for WCNI squad training session at Wanganui Sunday morning from 10.00am
Lots of people assembled from 9am onwards this morning, bringing caravans, erecting flags, putting sponges on the outskirts of the track and setting up for what was to be a big day at the track.
The lights were tested and working although not needed at 10am unfortunately the power wasn’t working so the planned start for 10am was delayed for 1/2 hour until a suitable alternative was made available.
The wind was gusty and clouds loomed overhead. Visitors were popping in from the very start, staying for a short time and then departing as the next lot of spectators arrived. It isn’t often that something as gigantic as this happens on your own back door.
The officials are all in place centrefield with timing machines recording every lap.
