It’s that T….T….Time of year again. That’s right, the Bike Manawatu Wednesday night Time Trial series kicks off on Wednesday 14th October.
Register at the Horizons yard on the corner of Rongotea and Kairanga Bunnythorpe Roads at 6:00pm, first rider off at 6:30pm.
We are looking for a few people to commit to being “in charge” for a night this would involve getting to the yard at 5:30pm to unlock, taking entries and organising the other volunteers to cover the jobs that need doing. We always seem to have plenty of helpers turning up on the night, but need a prior commitment from one “organiser” each week. I will kick of the roster
for the 14th Oct, but would welcome an email (katherine.stannard@pncc.govt.nz) if you could take it on for another night or two.
Look forward to seeing you out there.
Katherine

We are good to go for 2015 Schools National Road Cycling championships!
An exciting change to the top school competition!!!
There will be 2 divisions
Top Senior Boys and Girls School
H.A Joli cup and A.J Drake Cup
For years 9-13
Top Junior Boys and Girls School
Chris Ginders Cup and Marie Laycock Cup
For years 7&8.
Points will be earned as in the past.
We anticipate only one crossover grade … The u14 races. Those age group competitors will take their points to their respective divisions.
Eg if a year8 wins the u14 road races and a year 9 is second the year 8 takes his points to the junior competition and the year9 to the senior competition!
Important Notice – Nationals Road Race, Day Two.
After careful consideration by Race Officials, the Traffic Safety team and Event Organisers, it has been decided to run the Road Race as a left turn circuit. While riders will have to take extreme care negotiating the quick down hill sharp left turn from Watershed Road onto Colyton Road, this change will make all intersections and the finish much safer. Please note the new finish line on the attached map.
