Congratulations to all who participated in the 2012 event at Manfeild. The 2012 event was spectacularly successful, and held in near ideal weather conditions.
A special thank you to all of our sponsors
Bike Manawatu members will be included in a special prize draw as well as receiving a discounted entry fee
Angus Findlay, Kathryn Young and Campbell Stewart were the three major prize winners from Sunday’s Bike Manawatu School’s prize giving ceremony held in Feilding. Angus received the Best Result by Team or Individual Award. Angus’ meteoric rise has been nothing but outstanding. Having come from golf, and only having recently taken up competitive cycling late in 2010, he quickly became a force to be reckoned with at local and regional level. His performances were that consistent that he was selected for the NZ U19 Development Squad this year where he competed in Canberra. 
Establishing the direction of the gusty wind was not difficult to assess due to the smell greeting all visitors, as the Easterly wind flows over the Freezing Works oxidation pond on its way to the Feilding velodrome. We had 35 riders on Tuesday night which while affected by school camps and exams is still up on last year. 
When looking at the number of events around that target groups i.e. “Weetbix Kids Triathlon”, Bike Manawatu realised that there are a lot of women that cycle but have to compete against men at events. Manawatu is in the fortunate position next year to not only be the sole region in NZ to host a UCI mens cycling event but it will also host the NZCT Womens tour.
