The other exciting piece of news is Bike NZ has appointed Chris Foggin to be the regional development coordinator. Chris will be based here in the Manawatu.

He attended a Bike Manawatu board meeting on 18 Oct to spell out aspects of his job description but it would appear that he can assist the club in achieving its aspirations and goals to develop some coaching capacity within the club.

The boards sees Chris’s appointment as a very positive step forward.
