Keep an eye out for the season programme on the BikeManawau website under ‘Track Cycling’ or the Facebook group ‘BikeManawatu Track nights’ and just rock up to racing.

This is a great introduction to track racing, as you get used to the track, rules, racing and etiquette without having to worry about using the ‘different’ track bike. We encourage riders from this group to come along to one of our track ‘have a go’ days to try out a track bike.

On Saturday October 4rd at 1:30pm we require some helpers for our 'have a go day' in Feilding.

It is always good to have a few people bring their track bikes to guide people around the track, some people changing seat heights, some yarning about how it all works and encouraging people to come along to our meets.

It's normally a fun, rewarding day. If you are keen to help please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

An amazing effort – the greatest ever success by junior riders from the Manawatu from the Junior Worlds in Astana.

Campbell Stewart, 2 gold medals in Scratch race and Omnium!!

Michaela Drummond, gold in teams pursuit and a world record, congratulations plus!!

Thanks for the great effort and the turn out for the track clean- over 20 people. The wetness of the day didn’t damper the enthusiasms.

There has been a big effort by myself, helped by Liam Brown and Kane Welch in cleaning out the clubrooms and getting rid of a lot of junk. Floors have been painted and a extra rack for bikes has have been installed – you will be supplied how much better it looks now!
