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 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.

You can make a submission on the PNCC Draft Annual Plan, especially in relation to the Cycling Centre of Excellence, and the City Cycling Plan.
The Council has a document which has info on both projects and a submission form that can be printed.

A good turn out including some late entries enjoyed the new course along Tangimoana Rd.
A mail drop had been done along the road a few days before the event which meant that a few of the locals came out and sat at their gates to clap and cheer for the riders as they went past.
A slight wind was apparent but it did not stop some good times being recorded – a stellar effort – from Matiu Kaihau who posted the fastest time on the 25km course.
