Team Hughes Joinery Ride, Sunday 14th June–Memorial Park

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.

With Taupo 2020 entries opening up soon, I thought I better get last years winners all done quickly.
So SIX free entries will be drawn before we head off for our ride.
It would be great to have as many riders as possible in your Team Hughes Joinery kit for a couple of quick snaps.
Apologies to the Feilding riders, with late notification ex Covid-19, you all will have to cycle over.
All of the approximately 80 eligible riders will be in the draw with about $1000 of FREE entries.
Look out 2020, a lower key local fundraiser via Team Hughes Joinery is coming up

High Viz reflective clothing, and light recommended please.

Thanks Colin Anderson
