Weekly Wrap
Sunday was truly an amazing day with 149 riders participating in this year’s Manfeild 6 Hour Cycle Challenge! Thank you to the Mainland Foundation and our sponsors for their generous financial support of this event, and to each and every one of you for supporting Arohanui Hospice and making a difference to those with life-limiting illnesses who require vital care. It was fantastic seeing both young and old supporting each other on the track and pushing through the last few hours when the wind certainly picked up. Final results are up on the 6 Hour page on our website https://bikemanawatu.co.nz/manfeild6hour/ The planning of next year’s event is underway and we can’t wait to see everyone back in 2026!
This Sunday 1st June we’re racing at Makino Road in Feilding with two options: A Time Trial (~17km) or a Handicapped Road Race (32km for A-C grade, and 17km for D grade).
