Last year's Taranaki Masters Games cycling event had record-breaking entrant numbers, and organiser Rob Stone hopes to see this again later this month.
The cycling competition, which traditionally takes place over three days, will be held Saturday, March 19 and Sunday, March 20.
Rob says this year's competition had been cut back to only two days because entrant attendance was low on the Friday events in the past.
"We have not removed any of the individual events from the timetable so no one will be missing out."
The cycling competition includes eight events: a criterium, a race on a looped track, a 2000 metre pursuit event, a 20 kilometre time trial, a hill climb, a 200 metre sprint, a 40 kilometre road race and two 20 kilometre road races.
