Sport Manawatu and Massey University’s School of Sport and Exercise have developed a new sporting academy to foster and develop the next generation of Manawatu Olympians.
The Manawatu Athlete Development Academy caters for athletes between the ages of 15 and 20 who have begun to break through to international competition, but are not yet eligible for High Performance Sport New Zealand assistance.
The academy is open to athletes from all sporting disciplines living within the Manawatu, Horowhenua, and Tararua regions. It offers athletes access to mentoring, workshops, sport science testing, and other services.
The programme will be led by local high performance coach Andrew Nicholls, who has recently returned from coaching duties with the New Zealand Youth Olympics team, and is personal coach to Olympic triathletes Ryan Sissons and Kris Gemmell. “I am excited to get to work with some of the region’s most talented athletes. By supporting their drive and enthusiasm with the combined resources of Sport Manawatu and Massey University I will be able to help them on their way to becoming high performance athletes” says Mr Nicholls.

Remember the days when this event was held at Rongotea and Palmerston North always put the most teams in and therefore ran away with the points trophy.
Currently Bike Manawatu holds at least one of the cups for TEAM TIME TRIALS.

Last year there was a lot of discussion around which cafes cyclists are and aren’t allowed to enjoy there favourite espresso at.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a cafe that not only welcomed cyclists no matter what they were wearing but also recognised them as a special customer by giving them extra discounts.
This is now available for Bike Manawatu members.

Notice for everyone that has previously done Wednesday night time trials at Kairanga. Please note that we will no longer be assembling at Kairanga School Hall.
We now have access to the Horizons yard opposite the start line and so this will be where the registrations are taken.
This will minimise the effect of people having to cross Rongotea Rd and allow an assembly point well off the road prior to the time trials starting.
