Cycle NZ at Manfeild

Despite the current ‘cost of living challenges’ facing all community events, Bike Manawatu is 100% committed to ensuring the 51st year of the Novice Tour – once again provides a safe, fun, competitive cycle racing event.

We will adopt a high-quality assured approach in implementing the Local Roading Authority’s/Cycling New Zealand’s ‘Safe Traffic Management System’ (STMS) standards which ensure best practices and rider and spectator safety.

If the level of community funding secured is not sufficient to contract in external road management service providers with the ability to stop/go traffic, the Novice Tour will proceed on a ‘local club racing’ model, whereby our team of trained/experienced road marshals will, where necessary, pause racing in order to give way to traffic and ensure rider safety.

Although funding external road management services with the ability to stop/go traffic is ideal, if this is not feasible – we are confident that the event’s ‘Safe Traffic Management System’ (STMS) will provide a competitive, fair, enjoyable and importantly safe racing environment.

Irrespective of which model of traffic management/racing is finalised, as with all CNZ/Bike Manawatu events, normal road rules will apply and a full rider briefing confirming the event rules will be provided to all riders prior to the start of each race.

Sport Manawatu, Bike Manawatu and Motorsport Manawatu have teamed up to run Cycle New Zealand, at Manfeild.

This new series of events will cater for all ages and levels of cyclists. Yes you heard right CYCLIST! The series will see cyclists zooming around Manfeild, the more laps they do the further across a map of NZ they get.
It is a great way to cycle as it’s very safe as it’s all off road. Coffee and food available after the rides! So get your bike ready so you cycle on the track before all the race cars come out!

Dates for the series are:
July 2
August 6
September 3 (Father’s day)
Each ride will be from 8.30am – 10.30am – a great way to start the day.
