Sport Manawatu are organising a 33 day focus on Cycling in the Manawatu.
It all begins with the international New Zealand Cycle Classic right here in our own backyard and it continues with 33 days of cycling mania!
Every single day will feature an event, activity or competition related to cycling, everything from international cycle tours to free rides for kids and track cycling for adults.
To top it all off we finish with the second international cycling event in the Manawatu; the NZCT Women’s Tour of New Zealand.
So whether you’re a cycling fanatic or just an occasional rider, come and join us on our 33 days and lets show that Manawatu is the best place to ride a bike.

Being realistic in their expectations will be a point of focus for the small number of Bike Manawatu riders who will compete in the NZ cycle classic next week as a part of Team Massey. Bike Manawatu riders will form the nucleus of Team Massey that includes ex professional cyclist Steve Stannard, who now heads Massey’s School of Sport and Exercise and up and coming U23 riders Matiu Kaihau and Max Annear-Henderson.
