Commissaire / STMS Registration of Interest

by Bike Manawatu | Dec 2, 2020 | Notices

Ever thought of becoming a Cycling Commissaire?

Commissaires play a critical role in our sport, ensuring that cycling races are held in the best possible conditions and that races are run fairly by ensuring that the rules are uniformly applied.
Please submit expressions of interest HERE

Would you be interested in training to become a club STMS?

Traffic management plans are becoming a big part of cycle racing. Without them we simply cannot run races on the open road.
We want to create a good rotation so everyone can ride their bikes and join in on our races. To do this we need to increase the pool of people we can call upon to be the duty STMS. In general terms a cycling event STMS may be responsible for preparing a new traffic plan (if we are using a new circuit) lodging traffic management plans with the council and assisting with course set up and collection.
The more qualified people we have the more we can share this around and prevent races from being cancelled.

If you or someone you know would be keen to give back to our club and train in this position please fill in our form HERE

Please register your expression of interest here to become either a Commissaire or STMS HERE

Ride Rangitikei

(Pedal 4 Pleasure)

Sunday 6 December 2020

“Ride Rangitikei” will be run this Sunday 6^th December and will be run along similar lines to the usual “Pedal 4 Pleasure” with one or two modifications. The emphasis this time will be on “enjoying cycling”. There will be no prizes but food will be available at the conclusion of each event.

There will be three courses designed for the various levels of interest and/or fitness.

Rangitikei Gold – 80km Starts 8am

Marton Challenger – 38km Starts 10am

Tutaenui Gentle Pace – 17km Starts 11am

The three individual courses are through the beautiful Rangitikei countryside. Entry Fee $20.00

Ride starts from – The Village Green, Corner of Broadway & High Street, Marton.

Registration on the day and there will be food available after the ride. This is a charity event so there are no prizes.

Proceeds to St Johns Marton and Marton Fire Brigade
