Results Road Bikes on the Track Monday 12th March 2012

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.

It is great to see that the club champs have been well patronised and there has been some good competitive riding happening out on the track. End of season prizegiving is looming but apart from club champs there is the point series to complete. There is one more week available to earn valuable points. And then the final night will be a fun night with lolly scrambles and perhaps a novelty race like riding around the track the wrong way – and I have heard that lollies occasionally get thrown in the wrong direction and end up in the grandstand so be sure to bring the family and friends along to see what you have been doing on the track. They may just get a lolly or two also.
