The Country Road Fun Ride is a fun recreational cycling event for cyclists of all abilities.
The route encompasses some of Manawatu’s most picturesque countryside and is a
great day out.
See the Ride Flyer
Or visit www.thecountryroad.co.nz
A perfect mild evening with a slight breeze greeted the 36 riders and their supporters, and insured that an extended uninterrupted programme will be raced with all results in the hands of the riders and not the weather. Riders from Wanganui and Waipukurau joined the Bike Manawatu riders, and added to the quality of the racing. The meeting was the last opportunity for riders to push their claims to a spot in the West Coast North Island team to compete at Invercargill in the New Zealand age group championships late February.
