Akers Road – 31 August 2019
Tim mentioned in his article the other week we’d like to give our Akers Road circuit another go after it was cancelled due to bad weather in July.
Unfortunately the weather hasnt been kind to us for our scheduled races over the past couple of months, most recently we saw us having to cancel our Linton Race (BM Race 3) due to terrible rain. Ultimately our riders safety is key and the decisions to cancel races is difficult but ensuring the health and well being of everyone is extremely important.
Palmfeild Motors had a special deal for our Linton Race where you can ride for free if its your first time racing, or if you haven’t raced in any of our club races in the last 12 months. (see article here) we are very grateful and excited to let you know this offer has been extended to our race BM Race 2* –Akers Road – Thanks Palmfeild Motors
Traffic Management has been approved and we are ready to go – Saturday 31st August 2019
BM Race 2* – Akers Road
Sign on 3.00 pm
Race Brief at 3.15 pm
Race Start at 3.30 pm
Please help our volunteers out and pre register online here
Pre registering helps out our team behind the scenes and speeds up our registration process. If you pre register but are unable to make it on the day, thats totally fine. Its much quicker to remove a rider than it is adding the to our system – however as always we will always allow late entries on the day.
Fingers crossed the weather is kind.
We hope to see you all there.
If you are available to marshal or volunteer in any way shape or form, please do let us know – we’d very much appreciate it.
This goes for all of our up and coming races. Road racing can not go ahead without sufficient marshals and volunteers.
You may not be available for this race but maybe for the next one, please feel free to email Keryn on secretary@bikemanawatu.co.nz and we will pop your name on our roster.
Thank you very much.

Colins 100th Completed Taupo Cycle Challenge Lap.
Thank you to everyone who have donated to my cause so far. It is very humbling to see such kindness.
So far 44 people have joined our Enduro Team ride and many more who will join the other ride choices available.
At the moment I need to place our team order for our 100 sponsored T-Shirts to be printed.
If you are considering joining our team – Hughes Joinery for any of the ride distances and have yet to register your interest, may I please ask you to head on over to https://cycleforheartkidstaupo19.everydayhero.com/nz/hughesjoinerycycle4heartkids and sign up. Here you will make your team donation, select your ride choice along with your T-Shirt size, once this is all done we can continue on to the next phase. Your Taupo entry 10% discount applies till Nov.27th.
We have currently allocated approx. 70 of the 100 T-Shirts to date to team members and support crew etc.
If you are considering purchasing a Team Kit, please contact Stave Nagy on nagyfamily114@gmail.com All orders must be placed and paid for before the 1st September 2019.
Our Team kit looks rather nice and is an eye grabber on the road. For more information head on over to https://ultimoclothing.co.nz/ or contact Allen Wray who will happily help you out.
On behalf of Heart Kids NZ, Thank you very much
Wal.

On a side note….
A message for all you guys and gals who have chosen delivery of your Hughes Joinery Team Kit, may I please ask if you could wear it on our Saturday (BP Group) Rides and/or Sunday (Memorial Park) ride so we can conduct a small interview while either out on our ride or over a coffee.
Thank you
Wal
