Garry buys is pleased to announce that from Tuesday 4 April (first ride after daylight savings finishes) there will be 2 rides running from Evo cycles on Tuesday’s and Thursdays.
In addition to our usual shop ride, Michelle will be organising a shorter ride for those that are recovering from illness/injury or those wanting to reignite their cycling after a few years off from the pandemic.
The shorter rides will be shorter than the usual ride and at a slower pace to encourage everyone to get out and ride their bikes. The short ride will start at 30kms distance, and over time as the group progresses, we will be working up to the full distance. This ride will be at a slower pace so that everyone can enjoy the ride, rebuild their fitness and nobody will be dropped – we will still meet up with the longer group for the usual post ride coffee and the banter.
Meeting in the EVO cycles carpark at 5.50 for a ride briefing before departing at 6pm, we’d love to see you there – so dust off your winter riding gear and charge those lights and come and join us If you have any questions, drop Michelle a message and she’ll get back to you
Tuesday Night Recreational Rides
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.
