This Saturday’s club race at Akers Rd, number 4 of the Autumn series, a graded road race, has been postponed until the 2nd of April. This is because there is a clash with the School’s Cycling Camp which is also occurring over this coming weekend. The race on the 2nd will be just before the last race on the following morning at Linton Army Camp on Sunday 3rd. The presentations for the series will be held at the Army Camp after the final race.
Saturday Club Race Postponed
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.
