Uniforms
The order has been placed and all those that had ordered should have paid the 50% deposit to Bike Manawatu now. Delivery is expected in 6 weeks.
The order was placed for the items ordered plus a few extras and will be sold to those that have ordered in the first instance. So do not assume that there will be plenty of items available for general purchase. (more…)

Track Prizegiving
The prizegiving for road bikes on the track and track bikes was held on Tuesday night. We had a great turn out of riders and parents and supporters.
The evening started with a welcome from Paul van Velthooven, chairperson of the Bike Manawatu board. He commented on the approaching date for the announcement of the successful bid for the Cycling Centre of Excellence.
Greg Bryan gave a summary of the Monday night road bikes. Only 1 night was cancelled during the season and that was due to wind. A range of ages were catered for. Everyone improved over the season. This could be verified by looking at times for selected events at the start of the season and comparing them to times for the same events later in the season.
Submissions called for by MDC
Submissions to the MDC annual plan are now open. It is important that as cyclists if we want to be considered in the planning in the district that we let the Council know that we exist and are interested. If there is something in the plan relating to cycling then we need to let them know whether we think it is a good idea or not. If the Council does not hear from us as individuals they may assume that the provision is unnecessary and therefore delete it from the plan. So please have a read of the plan and make a submission. The louder our voice hopefully the more we will be able to achieve.
