More importantly at this stage, did you do it last year? If so please get in touch with either Mike Keenan by emailing him at jan.mike@xtra.co.nz or secretary@bikemanawatu.co.nz and let him know what time you completed the challenge in in 2013.
This year the Murray Jessen trophy will be awarded at the end of year prizegiving to be held at Marist clubrooms on Monday 15th December.
The Murray Jessen trophy will be awarded to the Bike Manawatu rider who has the greatest percentage improvement on completing Taupo over the last 2 years.
The prizegiving is to start at 6pm with a BBQ and if you wish to attend it would be helpful for catering purposes if you can please RSVP with the number attending to secretary@bikemanawatu.co.nz.
The bar will also be open from 6pm.

Thanks to everyone that responded . We have now been able to source a caravan and our time keepers will be very happy.
Bike Manawatu Novice Tour organisers are looking for a caravan to house our timing team during the tour. The timing team (of two) need somewhere quiet, yet close to the finish line, to enable them to operate their computers in peace and out of the elements. The caravan we had tentatively booked has fallen through, so we are asking for anyone who might be able to loan us a caravan, to be mainly parked in Ashhurst although with a side trip to Linton Army Camp, over the weekend of 6th and 7th December. If you are able to offer a caravan, or know someone who might, please contact Katherine Stannard 0275 088 700 or katherine.stannard@pncc.govt.nz.”

Please note that some adjustments have been made since these results were first calculated. An updated sheet will be available once all results have been checked.
Thanks to our helpers this week – good to see some of our regulars back helping but it is great to have extra people able to step up so if you want to learn perhaps a new skill or just want to be involved let me know – I am more than happy to pass on a job to someone.

Thank you to everyone who came along on our last LSD ride. Everyone seemed comfortable with the pace. Catriona and I are going to do another long slow ride from Memorial Park at 7.30 am on Sunday 9th Nov.We will ride approximately 90 km, once again at the pace of the slowest rider, so this is an ideal opportunity for slower riders to cover some distance in a group. The intended route is Gillespies Line-Kairanga-Bunnythorpe Rd-Lockwood Rd-Hoihere Rd-Main Drain Rd-Taikorea-Glen Oroua-Rongotea-Kellow Rd-Penny Rd-Mt Stewart-Feilding-Palmerston North.
