Trophies are now due back

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.

Bike Manawatu Trophies are now due back please

Its nearing the end of the year and things start getting super busy for everyone.
I am now looking to retrieve all of our club trophies please so we can have them accounted for and ready for next years prize giving.
If you received a Bike Manawatu Trophy at our club prize giving this year we kindly ask if you could please either bring these along to any up and coming races (December ITT’s or Essex Cup) and pop it in the timing van / hand it to a board member when you see them or drop it into Sport Manawatu attention Keryn – 47 Queen Street, Palmerston North
Alternatively Steph Foote has kindly offered to be a point of contact for drop offs also – Thanks Steph 🙂

Also If you still have one of our Manfeild 6 Hour Cycle Challenge Trophies, please also return these as we still need to have your names engraved.

Thank you very much for your help and we look forward to seeing you all at our up coming races.
Appreciate it.
