From Kim Anderson:

Thanks so much to the clubs that provided feedback for Mondays meeting, provoked some great discussion! Feedback from meeting will follow shortly.

Now that we have been provided with confirmed dates for Age Group Track Nationals, we (Lisa Horn and I) would like to look at securing some accommodation. To this end – obviously – we need some expressions of interest from riders planning on taking part and we need to know if they would like accommodation with the team.

So,

Age Group Track Nationals

9 – 13 March 2016, Invercargill

At this stage we do not know if U19/Elite Omnium will be run at the same time, CNZ wish to run it separately but have yet to confirm.

The 2015 Yunca Junior Road Tour and ILT Junior Track Carnival registrations are now open.

This year’s tour is being held Friday 2 – Sunday 4 October, followed by the Carnival on the following evenings of Tuesday 6 and Wednesday 7.

The routes for this year’s Tour stages are currently under revision and will be announced soon, along with some other adjustments to the tour format.
We look forward to having your junior riders join us for another two great racing events in October and hope they can perhaps stay a while longer to join us for some fantastic action during the 2016 Oceania Track Championships, which immediately follow the Carnival from Thursday 8 to Sunday 11 October – so it’s going to be a monster week of racing for sure!

Recently I received some feedback about a bunch of riders, assumed to be a BikeManawatu group.

The feedback was from a keen local cyclist who was out driving his car. As it turns out, it wasn't a BikeManawatu group, but the points he makes are still extremely valid...
 
I just wanted to give you some feedback regarding the Wednesday ride that is on the BM calendar. Now I'm not sure if this is an organized ride but you seemed the best to give feedback too

I was driving to Feilding just before 10 last Wed and saw a pretty bike group 30+ riders approaching near Taonui Rd. They were traveling to Palmy and there were riders on the wrong side of the centre line. I flashed my lights to warn them as I approached and they regrouped on the correct side of the road, but group still took the whole lane.

Now I am very sympathetic to cyclists but I found this behavior pretty bad. There are road rules. There were cars approaching from behind the group and I'm unsure how those cars were affected but the whole look was not good for cyclists
