Quiz Evening Tickets now available.

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.

FRIDAY 5th July

at Marist Clubrooms

Pascal St.

Doors open at 7pm.

Quiz starts at 7.30pm

What road would I be travelling on and in which general direction if I saw the following signs on the side of the road. Raupanga followed by Kotemaori.

If you answered SH 2 and travelling south you would be correct and you would now have 2 points.

And if you have been to previous quiz evenings and can remember the answers to some of the questions (How many eyes does a tuatara have when it is 3 months old) that might come in handy as there will be at least 1 question from last year that will be used again this year.

There will be rounds of questions to suit all including the famous Tui questions taken from the tops of Tui Beer bottles. YEAH RIGHT.

And if you know your way around NZ and can identify landmarks you will be well on your way to getting more points for your team when answering questions in the photo round.

There will also be a few trick questions and ridiculous answers will also be rewarded to a certain degree.

So for a fun night out with a fabulous supper and some fabulous prizes get a team together (up to 8 people ) and get your table booked. Either contact Joanne Stewart by email jcstewart@xtra.co.nz or Glenys Taylor secretary@bikemanawatu.co.nz

If you want to be a part of a team please let me know and I will try and put you on a table. Don’t leave it till the last minute. For catering purposes please book your table by 30th June.
