Morgans Property Advisors Track Results 3rd December 2013

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.

The good conditions ensured fast times and a number of track records in the fourth round of the 1 lap standing start time trials. The meeting also included an Omnium over the first three events of the programe.

The next track cycling meeting is Tuesday 10th of December with racing to begin 6.10pm. This meeting was to be the first round of the Club Championships but as a number of riders will be involved in the Novice Tour and the Junior Development camp the first round of the Club Championship has been moved to the last meeting of the calendar year on 17th of December.
