Bike Manawatu is wanting to develop a coaching structure that has the ability to assist the development of all club members, novice or masters, recreational or competitive.
In order to do this we require feedback from club members:-

Last year I rode a 40km time trial at Kahutara and participants said it was the windiest day they had ever experienced. On Sunday I rode a time trial on the same course and regular riders said it was the windiest day they had ever experienced, including last year! If last year was a record, this the crosswind this year broke it!
I usually take pride in the fact that I can ride the aerobars in cross winds when others don’t. Not on Sunday! The wind was so strong in some places that it caused the shallow Zipp 303 to skip across the road toward the gutter. It was a matter of sitting up and leaning as much weight on the front wheel as much as possible on exposed parts of the course.

BikeNZ is taking initiatives to ensure that all cyclists have accessibility to trained and comptent coaches. Following a successful level one BMX coaching course run late last year, BikeNZ, under the direction of development manger Amy Taylor, will extend these coaching resources to both the road and track disciplines.
“I’m really excited to be launching BikeNZ’s coach education framework. Having been through the previous BikeNZ, and Australian systems, and recently working in British Cycling’s coach education team, I believe we are in the process of designing the best cycling coach education framework in the world. The success of our high performance team doesn’t happen without good coaching, and this is why we are focused on creating a framework to train coaches to be the best they can be, whether they want to coach their local school team, or an elite athlete,” said Taylor.
