This Sunday, 12 Dec '10, the Masters Sunday Ride will have special significance as it will be the last Sunday Ride organised by the Manawatu Masters Cycling Club. This marks 15 years plus of Sunday Rides.
So to celebrate this and the amalgamation of 3 x Manawatu cycling clubs from 1 Jan '11, the MMCC committee has decided:
- After our ride to gather, bikes and all, and from club funds shout morning tea at Wharerata, Massey University.
- Invite to the morning tea and welcome some of the past members who still hold MMCC close to their hearts and did good work for the club.
- Celebrate Christmas '10.
- Issue all MMCC members gathered at Wharerata with a free raffle ticket and draw some prizes which hopefully will be of use for future cycling.
Lastly we encourage your to join up with Cycling Manawatu for the greater good of cycling in our region and wish the amalgamated club all the best for the future.
The MMCC Committee look forward to your attendance at Wharerata this Sunday.

50 kids from 5 different Manawatu Schools took part in the Prize giving carnival at the Feilding Velodrome. Where some of the kids are very familiar with the track for some it was the first time ever at Johnston Park. The carnival started at 9.00 am with a one lap standing start followed by team pursuits, missing out races and scratch races. Good entertainment for the big crowd that came along to support the kids and to celebrate their achievements.

Teams from two Manawatu schools beat all other schools to win the two school categories for 4 person 160km relay in perfect weather conditions on Saturday riding around lake Taupo.
Repeating last years intermediate school grade (year 7-8 kids) TASC Force from Ashhurst School won their category in a time only 17 seconds slower than last years winning team. Had it not been a 10 minute delay caused by a flat tyre for Michaela Drummond on leg two they would have improved their overall 8th position by several places.
