Australian UCI Professional team, Genesys Wealth Advisers, has signposted its intentions by deciding to arrive six days early for the New Zealand Cycle Classic around the Manawatu from January 25 to 29.
It will enable the riders to become fully familiar with the terrain with the classic’s 25th edition touring the Manawatu for the first time. www.cycletournz.com
Churchyard Physiotherapy is proud to sponsor the inaugural Bike Manawatu ‘la femme fun ride’.
In this event you will ride on the elite course – so get the same service we give to our elite athletes – quality one on one sessions, with experienced therapists committed to remaining up to date with current best practice to help you achieve your goals.
At Churchyard Physiotherapy we pride ourselves on not just being great at treating injuries but we also take a proactive approach to sporting performance and well-being for good quality of life. In addition to injury management we offer musculoskeletal screening examinations for muscle balance and motor patterning issues – issues that often prevent you achieving your sporting and life activity goals and even predisposing you to injury. We have developed a musculoskeletal assessment for this purpose, at the end of which we will advise you on an appropriate stretching and strengthening regime individualised just for you.
Fiona O’Connor has developed this assessment based on her work and experience as High Performance Sport NZ’s Key Physiotherapy provider in Palmerston North and current BlackSticks Womens Hockey Team Physiotherapist. One lucky participant will receive a Musculoskeletal Screening Package as a spot prize so keep that race number handy!

The Tuesday night was called off due to rain with the weather forecast tipping Thursday as a suitable replacement. Fortunately the forecast was correct and we had a great night with a light westerly that died off as the night went on to provide near perfect conditions for one lap record attempts later in the evening.
The nights programme included age graded 5 lap scratch races followed by 2 lap handicap races then in a departure from the routine we had all of the riders take part in team sprints. The wind eased and the light was plentiful so the riders were invited to have a go at breaking track records for the 1 lap standing start and then the evening concluded with longer age graded handicap races.

Final night and unfortunately a lot of people were away as it clashed with school prizegivings.
At the end of the racing we all headed back to the Kairanga hall for nibbles and the series prizegiving.
People had commented that the results from the previuos week had not been posted on the web but that was a ploy so that the riders did not know the final standings as the points for those people that had attended every night were very close.
Overall there was only 4points between 1st place and 13th place. And a total of 13 people received prizemoney.
