Sunday 20 February saw the first of a club event to cater for as many members as possible. The sunday bunch ride came for coffee to Ashhurst school, the Saturday club race was pushed one day forward to Sunday with start and finish in Ashhurst and the first training/race for school cycling Manawatu kicked off in Ashhurst. Goal to let all members of Bike Manawatu mix and mingle over coffee. Good weather good numbers good coffee from mobile coffee maker Ruanui MacDonald and nice muffins made it in a very enjoyable morning of cycling. Thanks Glenys and Susan.
Here are the results for the club race. Thanks to all the people who put their hands up to help run the event. Turn marshals, sweep wagon, start finish, registration etc. Very much appreciated!

Despite posting a very competitive time of 17:16 in the friendly conditions in Week 1, Steve Stannard went 5 seconds better with the second fastest time of the night (17:11). (more…)

Jesse Sergent says having an indoor velodrome in Manawatu would attract more people in the region to take up cycling.
The Team RadioShack rider got into the sport as a 12-year-old in Feilding after watching races at his nearby club.
Now 22, and in the top echelon of pursuit riders in the world, Sergent said he would like to see Palmerston North win the right to be the venue for the proposed indoor velodrome.
