I’m leaving today for Palmerston North for the Tour of the Manawatu, previously known as the Tour of Wellington.  I’ve been to this race before (8 times for the mens race and 4 times for the womans) as a mechanic or DS but this will be my first time riding it.  I ‘m super excited (and a little nervous) to be riding a race of this scale.

This race is one of the largest in NZ and always attracts a large, talented field. In the photo below of last years race (taken by Joe Kelly) Mike is shadowing Lachlan Norris who rode the Tour Down Under this year up the Rimutaka climb.

This year we’re very lucky to have Paul O’Connell and James Mahuta-Coyle managing and helping.

As always you can follow the team’s progress at facebook.com/WheelworksRacing.
