4 Manawatu riders traveled to New Plymouth to take part in a charity ride around Mount Taranaki on Daffodil Day to raise funds for the Cancer Society.
Wayne Fage, Rob Ryan, Brady Kennett and Mike Dunne endured over 185kms of rain and cold weather to complete the circuit. They finished in good spirits (if a little weary), and the great news is that to date the fundraising effort is over $18,500.
It is great that Bike Manawatu riders can show a presence at events/rides in our neighbouring clubs, in the hope that this support will encourage their members to attend our events. Well done to everybody that took part

We will adopt a high-quality assured approach in implementing the Local Roading Authority’s/Cycling New Zealand’s ‘Safe Traffic Management System’ (STMS) standards which ensure best practices and rider and spectator safety.
If the level of community funding secured is not sufficient to contract in external road management service providers with the ability to stop/go traffic, the Novice Tour will proceed on a ‘local club racing’ model, whereby our team of trained/experienced road marshals will, where necessary, pause racing in order to give way to traffic and ensure rider safety.
Although funding external road management services with the ability to stop/go traffic is ideal, if this is not feasible – we are confident that the event’s ‘Safe Traffic Management System’ (STMS) will provide a competitive, fair, enjoyable and importantly safe racing environment.
