Hi my name is Kelly Johnson and I am the deputy chair of Bike Manawatu. I was a competitive downhill mountain biker competing on the national circuit before becoming a mum, now I have moved into the recreational cycling space. I have worked for Sport Manawatu for 8 years, working with a number of clubs helping them in both operational and governance areas. I look forward to working with the board and club members on building and sustaining strong infrastructure to ensure that Bike Manawatu can continue to provide a great club for both competitive and recreational cyclists of all ages.

From Kim Anderson:
Thanks so much to the clubs that provided feedback for Mondays meeting, provoked some great discussion! Feedback from meeting will follow shortly.
Now that we have been provided with confirmed dates for Age Group Track Nationals, we (Lisa Horn and I) would like to look at securing some accommodation. To this end – obviously – we need some expressions of interest from riders planning on taking part and we need to know if they would like accommodation with the team.
So,
Age Group Track Nationals
9 – 13 March 2016, Invercargill
At this stage we do not know if U19/Elite Omnium will be run at the same time, CNZ wish to run it separately but have yet to confirm.

Received from Joe Lei at Massey University:
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of menstrual cycle and heat tolerance in both dry and humid condition. Hopefully this study can help future kiwi athletes to quickly adapt to tropical weather in the country like Singapore or Hong Kong. The study will be divided into two parts: the first part is the submaximal and maximal test. The second part: For each menstrual phase, the participant will be doing one dry and one humid heat exposure. So, total heat exposure will be 4 in total.
Subjects will be awarded $150 in voucher to award their time and effort.

The 2015 Yunca Junior Road Tour and ILT Junior Track Carnival registrations are now open.
This year’s tour is being held Friday 2 – Sunday 4 October, followed by the Carnival on the following evenings of Tuesday 6 and Wednesday 7.
The routes for this year’s Tour stages are currently under revision and will be announced soon, along with some other adjustments to the tour format.
We look forward to having your junior riders join us for another two great racing events in October and hope they can perhaps stay a while longer to join us for some fantastic action during the 2016 Oceania Track Championships, which immediately follow the Carnival from Thursday 8 to Sunday 11 October – so it’s going to be a monster week of racing for sure!
