“With the event continuing to grow in popularity, we are ever appreciative for the support received from Keith Ramage of the Whanganui Mountain Bike Club, and Cath Cheatley from Velo Ronny’s Bicycle Store, both of whom helped with the event set up and volunteering on the day.
“It was great to also have Mike and Alastair from Whanganui Green Bikes on hand to provide tune-ups and peace of mind to riders, checking bikes over and offering advice around maintenance and kit,” he said.
The next big Sport Whanganui-hosted events are the Mitre 10 MEGA Whanganui Tough Kid and Tough Teen, from November 7-8 this year due to planned track refurbishment at Cooks Gardens in December.
