🚴🏽 Colyton Sealed Handicap Race 13 Sep 2026

A beautiful spring day welcomed riders to the Sealed Handicap race on challenging out and back courses. The course is a ripper and there was great feedback from riders across all three distances.

👏 Thanks to today’s amazing volunteers: Sam Richardson for Registration and Timing, Axel Malecki, Richard Long, Cath Cheatley and Andy Richardson for marshalling, and Tim Lloyd for setting up and packing down the race.

It was great to see some new faces too. Big shout out to Cath Cheatley and the Huntley School parents for bringing a great group of year 6-8 riders to get some training in. Manawatu Triathlon Club competitors were a very welcome addition to numbers at the event too.

Line honours were……..

🏅 Long course EDWARD DABINETT
🏅 Medium course BROOKLYN ARMSTRONG
🏅 Short course HANNAH PEEL

Support regional cycle racing and get amongst this great series!
Wellington Road Cycling Club's Road Race Series kicks off with Race 1 in just over a week.
This is a fantastic three race handicap series, giving riders of different abilities the opportunity to race competitively, with prizes, medals and spot prizes up for grabs.
We encourage our members and riders from around the region to get behind the series and get your entry in!

🚴🏽 Sunday Colyton Road Race – Entries Needed!

A big thank you to the riders who have already entered and to the volunteers who have put their hands up to help. 🙌

The forecast for Sunday is looking good, and we’ve got a fantastic course lined up, one we haven’t raced on for many years. It deserves a good turnout!

🔹Long Course ~45 km with 455m climbing
🔹Medium Course ~33 km with 283m climbing
🔹Short Course ~21 km with 150m climbing

We’d like to see at least 8 riders per distance to make the racing worthwhile. With a sealed handicap, EVERYONE has a genuine chance of being in the mix for the final result, regardless of ability. Plus it’s another great opportunity for our Juniors preparing for the National School Road Champs later this month to get some valuable racing in.

👉 Get your entry in now: https://www.webscorer.com/register?raceid=440575

With the North Island Series no longer going ahead, it’s more important than ever to support our local clubs, keep regional racing going and get some good competition on the start line. Riders from other clubs are very welcome to come along and join us.
PNP Road Cycling Club Wellington Masters Cycling Club Cycling Whanganui Hawera Road Cycling Club Inc. Levin Cycling Club Kapiti Cycling Club ACM Cycling Club

🙌 A big shout out to Manawatū District Council!

Thank you to MDC for their funding and continued support of cycling in our region. MDC’s "Event Fund" helps Bike Manawatu cover essential traffic management costs, keeping our events affordable and accessible. We also really appreciate how supportive the Council is in helping us get our traffic management plans approved.

It all helps us keep putting on safe, fun cycling events around the Manawatu and getting more people out on their bikes! 🚲
