For those that have completed the online survey on the Bike Manawatu web – thanks very much. We’ve had 23 respondents so far, somewhat smaller than expected but nevertheless appreciated. The results have so far have not been surprising but the result do paint an indicative picture of where the training and coaching needs are and what are the greatest areas of need.
The survey is still open so if you want to add some value please complete the survey.
We want to raise the profile of Bike Manawatu as a club and seek opportunities to give ourselves some wider exposure.
Here’s one easy and simple way to expose our club – by wearing Bike Manawatu branded kit.
If you are planning to ride the Tour de Manawatu this year and you have some Bike Manawatu branded cycling gear, we are asking you to wear it.
We will also make a similar request for those aspiring to give the Lake Taupo Challenge a go this year as well as any other fun ride.
Received from Tom & Jodie…
Dear all,
We just want to say a massive thank you to you all for your help on our journey. It truly would not have been possible without your friendship, kindness, generosity and advice.
Hillcrest High School student Steffie Holcroft walked away with Queen of the Mountain and Yellow jersey at the conclusion of the 38th Bike Manawatu Novice Tour held on 9 Oct in Palmerston North. She was 1 minute 27 seconds ahead of her Counties Manukau rival Devon Hiley and a further 1 minute 55 seconds back was Elise Salt. Not only did Holcroft take the two jerseys but she also won two of the three stages while also finishing second in the sprint ace competition. To the surprise of many Holcroft’s sporting passion is actually triathlon but the road cycling compliments her training.
And we have an additional 9 track bikes arriving soon and appointments to hire these are filling fast.
There is a “Have a Go” on a track bike or just on the track on Sunday 23rd October which is the Sunday of Labour weekend
