For those that have completed the online survey on the Bike Manawatu web – thanks very much. We’ve had 23 respondents so far, somewhat smaller than expected but nevertheless appreciated. The results have so far have not been surprising but the result do paint an indicative picture of where the training and coaching needs are and what are the greatest areas of need.
The survey is still open so if you want to add some value please complete the survey.

We want to raise the profile of Bike Manawatu as a club and seek opportunities to give ourselves some wider exposure.
Here’s one easy and simple way to expose our club - by wearing Bike Manawatu branded kit.
If you are planning to ride the Tour de Manawatu this year and you have some Bike Manawatu branded cycling gear, we are asking you to wear it.
We will also make a similar request for those aspiring to give the Lake Taupo Challenge a go this year as well as any other fun ride.
