We aim to promote and encourage recreational cycling for riders of all abilities in the Manawatu District.
We cycle all year round, with organised group rides every Sunday morning. Our rides go over varied courses around the Manawatu district.
All rides start at 8:00am at Memorial Park, Napier Rd, Palmerston North.
Usually there will be 2 rides:
- Long Rides – covering 75-85km
- Medium Rides – covering 55-65km
There is usually a choice of faster or slower groups to suit all abilities.
Recreational Ride Routes
We have over 80 routes around the Manawatu that we regulary use
Ride Etiquette
Riding in a bunch can be the most enjoyable experience if done in the right way. However, bunch riding can also be a huge pain if people in the group don’t understand the rules.

MSC is a winter sport run over Terms 2 & 3 – with races on many Sunday mornings. The Calendar is avaiable on the Bike Manawatu website.
Riders need to enter each event prior to the event date. Please check with your schools sports coordinator as to which grade to race in. This can change during Terms 2 & 3.
There will be times when parents will be asked to help at a Sunday race in terms of marshals, timing, registration etc.
It is compulsary for all MSC riders to have a front and back light and high vis vest when riding to and from a school race. During a race back lights must be on.
Riders will have the opportunity to compete at North Island Secondary School Road Championships and following this NZ National Secondary Road Cycling Championships.
