MANAWATU SCHOOL CYCLING CHAMPS 2013
This is the 3rd year Manawatu Schools Cycling Champs have been held in Ashhurst township and we saw another very successful day of cycle racing.
We had a great turn out of riders this year with 86 entries and the largest field of Intermediate aged school riders the champs have had to date. We also had over a dozen riders from outside the Manawatu area come and compete which gave our riders some extra competition.
Three races were held throughout the day…the first a Hill Climb ITT, followed by a Flat ITT, and lastly a Criterium.
For our newer riders this was their first time racing in a competitive cycling event and they all did themselves proud. To do 3 cycling events in one day isn’t easy and they all gave it their best.

Interested in attending a Commissaires Course?
I have just asked BikeNZ when it would be convenient to run a Commissaires course shortly in Palmerston North.
So can those members that are interested in attending this course please get intouch with me (Noeline Elden) or with Stephen Stannard from Bike Manawatu.
More details will come out shortly when we hear back from BikeNZ
