Next Sunday 20th March is our last track day at 3pm to close a successful 2015/16 track season.
A lot of new riders, especially in the U15 grade who started track this season have made very good improvement, which has been pleasing to see. It is going to be difficult to pick the most improved rider to win the trophy and prize money will be awarded at the annual meeting on the 5th April.
Next Sunday there will be prize money for end of season wheel races in each grade. Be there to celebrate the track season 2015/16.
We will have a few sausages on the BBQ if someone puts their hand up to organise this. Please contact Kate if you want to throw something together (k8.stewart@hotmail.com).
IMPORTANT:
-Those who have hired bikes this season are asked, if possible, to return them after the meeting next Sunday.
Any rider wising to retain their bike to ride track at North Island School championships at Cambridge later in the year please contact Ian.
–Numbers must also be returned to be eligible for prize money at the prize giving

The Under 19 women’s 500m Time Trial saw Michaela Drummond claim our 1st medal, taking bronze, with Emily Shearman 4th and Libby Arbuckle 8th. From their 1st rides the girls in green and white were already turning heads.

The second half of the track season is well under way, and what a great season it’s been. Many records have fallen, for participation and times. With the Elite & U19 track nationals only 10 days away it is excited to see that these riders are really coming on form and we wish them the best of luck.
A few administrative notes…
Track fees, most of you registered and paid $15 at the start of the season. If you have just joined us for racing in the new year please email me your details (Name, DOB, whether you are a BikeManawatu member or not, email and an emergency contact) and pay $10 directly into the BikeManawatu account (010745028492500 & make sure you include ‘Track fees’ and ‘Your name’ as a reference) or give me cash at track.
Membership. To race track you are required to be a BikeManawatu member. If you just race track and our club events you just need to join BikeManawatu. I will have forms at the IP champs on Sunday. If you wish to race anything further, for example WCNI events and nationals (road & track) you wil need a CyclingNZ licence including being a BikeManawatu member and paying WCNI centre fees. There are many options for this, see more on the CyclingNZ website. I will start following up that you have either of these membership forms.
Results & Records are not currently up to date sorry! I will get onto this in the next few weeks, as I know the records have been changing hands lately, and I’m sure they will continue to with all the club champs. Results are avaliable in the ‘Event Results and Records’ section on the website.
Club Track Championships rules can be found here. Don’t forget the 200m flying on Tuesday 2nd Feb and the Individual Pursuit on Sunday 7th February. Please email myself if you are considering riding (not a major if you email me but then don’t end up getting there on the day) so that we can have a bit of an idea about numbers so we can put out rough start times.
Manawatu Standard Results. At the start of the season I sent these in every week, but have ran out of time so far this year as they have to be put into ‘newspaper format’. I would appreciate a few people to put their hand up to type the results from the google spreadsheet into this format (it’s not hard at all). Please email me abiut this if this sounds like you!
Volunteers. Thanks so much to our great team, with quite a few new parents that have really stepped up and are doing a great job!!
Kind regards,
Kate Stewart
