Bike Manawatu has been closely monitoring the COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation.
After careful consideration and based on the information that we have at hand and the rapid pace at which this situation is escalating we have made the tough decision to postpone the West Coast North Island Road Race Champs scheduled for Saturday 28th March.
We assessed our race – and given we would we riding in bunches, and the impact it may have on the welfare and health of our members, riders, event organisers, volunteers, officials, spectators and the general New Zealand public, we made what we feel is the socially responsible decision to postpone the event pending a suitable replacement date.
We apologise for any inconvenience and disappointment this decision may cause, and we are currently unsure when we will be able to host this event, but rest assured we will do our best to put this and other events back on our cycling calendar as soon as possible.
We realise this is a period of uncertainty and appreciate our cycling community’s support.
Levin Cycling Club has also made the decision to postpone their West Coast North Island Individual Time Trial and Criterium champs scheduled for April 5th due to the impact of COVID19.
Take Care everyone

Great work to our WCNI AGTN 2020 Team
After a great few days in Invercargill, the 2020 AGTN came to an end last night with the Under 15’s Point Races and the U17 Madison. The WCNI riders rounded out a successful meet with some cracking rides from Kylah Gunn, Ta and Harrison Craw in the Points Races, and Jack Overweel and Riley Tunnicliffe in the Madison; but not quite enough for another WCNI trip to the podium.
Thanks to everyone for all the support – you can see from the results that what you do works! A special thanks to the financial and kit sponsors (RITA, #CentralBikeStudio, The Tank Guy, Beehive), the Rider’s clubs Cycling Wanganui, BikeManawatu and WCNI as a whole.
The final tally from the meet was:
3x Gold Medals (Jack Overweel – U17B 500 TT, Harrison Craw – U15B Derby, Ta & Harrison Craw – U15B 500m Team Sprint).
2x Silver Medal (Jack Overweel – U17B Match Sprint, Ta Craw U15B 500m TT).
1x Bronze Medal (Harrison Craw U15B 500m TT).
1x National and NZ Champs Record (Ta & Harrison Craw – U15B 500m Team Sprint).
…heaps xPBs (all riders – Riley Tunnicliffe, Wilson Hannon, Lochlan Foote, Jack Overweel, Georgia Simpson, Kylah Gunn, Ta Craw, Harrison Craw).
