SUMMER RACING – POINTS SERIES
Hopefully you have seen our summer racing calendar;
To add some spice and healthy competition we will be running a grade points series from the 2 ITT and 2 Graded Road Races with a grade leaders jersey up for grabs. Eligible grades are A, B, C & D
All races have now been posted on our FB page and registrations are open via webscorer (click the links above). You will see on the ITT registration a grade selection field which is not normally required for ITTs. Please chose your grade for the series when registering for the first event which is NEXT TUESDAY. We will be using times from this event to re/confirm dubious grade selections
Riders will not be able to change grades without very good reason. If permitted, any accumulated points will be removed
Standard road bike configuration only is allowed at TT’s. Riders who do compete with TT bikes, discs, clip on bars etc will not be allocated series points
We know its hard to make it to every event so there will be 1 discard – 3 rounds to count
Points will be awarded to the top 10 in each grade on a high scoring basis – 10, 9, 8, 7 etc
First jerseys will be presented at the race 2 briefing 16 Feb. Jerseys are to be retuned at completion of each race to be represented to the grade leads at the following rounds
We hope that with high bragging rights on the line you will enjoy this format and we look forward to seeing how the classification GC battles shape up. Spread to word and lets get some good numbers and make this a great summer of competitive racing.
** Please note due to a rained off event (16.02.23 Akers Road) we have decided to amend our Colyton Hiwinui Loop course which was scheduled as a Handicapped event, but will now be run as a Graded Road Race to complete our Summer Series. Our Essex Cup race will be run at a later date during 2023. Thank you

Welcome to the new year – We are excited to see what 2023 has in store for our members.
We are already well and truly half way through January and the calendar is filling up thick and fast with many events regionally and nationally.
This weekend will see the Gravel & Tar UCI 1.2 event in and around Ashhurst. This will be a great event, with some of the best riders racing the grueling 140km course competing for their UCI points right here in the Manawatu.
Then on Monday, the Cycling NZ Criterium National Championships are being held at Massey University.
Meanwhile behind the scenes our calendar team has been working hard to ensure we have a fun filled calendar ready for our riders to enjoy.
We start back on Tuesday 31st January with a Kairanga ITT please register here
From there our calendar will look a bit like this:
- Thursday 16th Feb (yes thats right Thursday – Tuesday falls on Valentines Day) – Akers Road Race
- Tuesday 28th Feb Woolworths Cup ( Feilding )
- Tuesday 7th March – A1 Loops – Taonui
- Tuesday 21st March – Essex Cup – Colyton Hiwinui
- Tuesday 28th March – Kairanga ITT
- Sunday 14th May Manfeild 6 Hour Cycle Challenge #Ride2Raise
We will aim to get our webscorer registrations up for these events as soon as we have our traffic management plans approved by council.
For now we suggest you plot in our dates and get ready for some great racing.

Cycling New Zealand have recently introduced a new membership system and requirements for all riders and affiliated clubs.
Following the RTX AGM in May this year, where there was a new membership structure put forward to clubs, Cycling New Zealand and RTX have been moving through the process to be able to make this come to life for 2023. This structure seeks to fulfil the membership intent of creating a membership environment where everyone in the sport of RTX can recognise themselves through a member option that provides a sense of belonging and value for all and where all are part of the cycling eco-system.
Unfortunately with these new requirements members can no longer just become a social member of Bike Manawatu – All memberships must be actioned via the Cycling NZ portal.
For all family memberships please either email or call Rebekah at Cycling New Zealand on membership@cyclingnewzealand.nz or 07 823 0716 and a special code will be created for you to use at the check out to ensure you are not overcharged for your family club membership
MEMBERSHIP & LICENCE OPTIONS
RTX riders and non-riders will have the following options for membership and licensing:
– RTX Sport Membership
– Cycling New Zealand Annual Race Licence Add-On
– Cycling New Zealand Event Licence Flexi Add-On
– Cycling New Zealand Technical Licence
Sport Memberships are the base membership offering for riders within these codes. Brought to you by RTX (the Member Organisation for Road, Track & Cyclocross), this membership is designed for those who are keen to get involved in club racing and other local club activities, but not currently racing at a National level.
What is an RTX Levy?
The RTX Levy contributes and supports the grassroots administration of the sport including
the development and regulation of the rules of racing, development of resources for clubs and
riders, the development and training of officials.
As a Sport Member you are entitled to:
- Become a member of your local Road, Track or Cyclocross Club
- Receive support through the affiliation insurance programme
- Participate in Club Events
- Receive an RTX Sport Membership Digital Licence
- Gain access to member resources through RTX
Once you’ve signed up for your Sport Membership, you will now have the option of adding on a Cycling New Zealand Annual Race Licence.
This add-on caters to those who wish to step up to National-level racing, and is the required licence type for UCI-Category racing within New Zealand. It’s also the annual option for those non-UCI Category riders who race at multiple national championships. Through this licence type you will be eligible to compete in all national Road, Track & Cyclocross events on the calendar and other sanctioned events requiring a Cycling New Zealand licence (entry fees apply).
When you purchase an annual licence you are supporting Cycling New Zealand to deliver a national event calendar of safe and fair racing, and the ongoing training and development of national level officials.
By purchasing the Cycling New Zealand Annual Race Licence add-on to your Sport Membership, you are entitled to:
- All of the benefits of a Sport Membership
- Access to Events requiring a Race Licence (entry fees apply)
- 2023 active UCI ID
- Digital UCI Licence Card
- Physical licence cards available on request
Keen to race but not ready to commit to an Annual Race Licence? This year we are introducing the Cycling New Zealand Event Licence to give you the flexibility to choose!
This add-on to the RTX Sport Membership is available for selected events for non-UCI categories, catering to those who want to give National-level racing a go, but don’t need a licence for the whole season.
For those who are likely to race at multiple National level events, we recommend the Annual licence.
When you purchase an event licence you are supporting Cycling New Zealand and our event partners to deliver a national event calendar of safe and fair racing, and the ongoing training and development of national level officials.
By purchasing the Cycling New Zealand Event Licence add-on to your Sport Membership, you are entitled to:
- All of the benefits of a Sport Membership
- Access to selected events which accept the Event Licence (non-UCI categories only)
- Digital Event Licence card
We will continue to offer the Cycling New Zealand Technical Licence for all of our Coaches, Commissaires, Volunteers and Team Managers/Staff. This licence type is the best option for anyone in a non-riding role who requires a licence for official roles within cycling.
To recognise the commitment of our hardworking volunteers within clubs, for those who are engaging with the club system (by obtaining an RTX Sport Membership), this licence will be a free add-on to RTX Sport Memberships.
For those that wish to take out a Technical Licence directly (without obtaining an RTX Sport Membership) there will be an Annual Fee.
The Cycling New Zealand Technical Licence gives you access to:
- Undertake official roles within cycling events in New Zealand
- Digital UCI Licence Card
- Physical licence cards available on request
