100km, 23 October 2011. By Murray Boase
Well, if you want to visit an old and cold town hall, but one with a great country atmosphere, try the one at Hunterville at 8am in the morning. I was there on Sunday 23rd October to register for the 7th annual Rangitikei River Loop Cycle Classic 100km. The race is very scenic and challenging and in my opinion is the best-value recreational ride on offer in the North Island!
Do all dead washing machines go to meet that lonely Maytag F&P repairman in the sky? Nope, some of’em get their guts repurposed for use in hipster transportation, otherwise known as bicycles. At least that’s what one fed up, frugal Munich denizen did to avoid that German’s city costly PT fees.
A summary from last night’s meeting. Thanks for the initiatives that game from the floor. They were very much appreciated.

The other exciting piece of news is Bike NZ has appointed Chris Foggin to be the regional development coordinator. Chris will be based here in the Manawatu.
He attended a Bike Manawatu board meeting on 18 Oct to spell out aspects of his job description but it would appear that he can assist the club in achieving its aspirations and goals to develop some coaching capacity within the club.
The boards sees Chris’s appointment as a very positive step forward.
