Track Cycling Overall & Club Championship Points for 2014/15 Season
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 2014/15 Track season has been a great one! We had large fields, many riders representing us at WCNI and National Championships, and also a huge number of track records broken.
Every race was recorded and points were recorded for every garded club race we had (except club Championships), points were awarded (1st=5, 2nd=3, 3rd=2, 4th=1) and the winner of each category will recieve their respective trophies or cup at the Track Prizegiving on Wednesday 25th March.
The Club Championships is a seperate Competition for medals. Points are awarded to all participants in each age category (1st=6, 2nd=4, 3rd=3, 4th=2, 5th=1. With each participant getting an additional 2 points). Rules can be found by clicking here.
