I heard earlier this week that there is a blitz on vehicles transporting bikes on bike racks on a towbar where the bikes obscure the number plate and indicator lights.

This week has seen a second crew swing into action at the bottom of the slip, so we now have two teams ready to work seven days a week to clear the slip and get the road re-opened. Although wet weather has prevented work at the top of the slip for the past couple of days, work to clear debris at the bottom is continuing.
The slip
The benching team made fantastic progress this week (in spite of the weather) and we are close to finishing the first bench.
You can see from this photograph just how deep they’ve had to cut down into the hillside.

Bike Manawatu riders dominated the results table at the Levin track carnival last Sunday (11 Dec). Mikayla Drummond, Campbell Stewart, Kate Stewart and Matiu Kaihau were the pick of riders across the grades. Mikayla, Kate and Campbell, showing early season form, were totally dominant in their respective grades but Matiu was made to work for his eventual title from PNP rider Lee Evans. Lee certainly had the legs over Matiu in the short distance events with great leg speed. But Matiu had the strength and endurance which Lee could not match in the longer distance events. In the U17 grade, Connell Leahy, Levin Cycling, displayed good confidence and fitness to take most of the races in his grade.
