Our very own Simon van Velthooven has been nominated and is one of five finalists for 2012 BikeNZ People’s Choice Award, as selected by the New Zealand public. This award is often seen as the most prestigious in all of New Zealand cycling as it is nominated and voted for purely by the fans. The final voting process has just started so we’d love to see you all Bike Manawatu supporters voting for Simon. To vote, go to http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JB5Y29N; voting closes November 15. Thanks!
Vote for Simon
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.
