Road Biking

Here you will find a variety of road cycling routes; from an easy flat loop on the Rongotea Ride to a much more challenging multi day option on the Apiti Loop Ride. The classic Manawatu favourite, the Tour de Manawatu Ride also features here, with both the 80km as well as the 116km option. Scenic highlights include rich agricultural areas, historic towns and delightful country roads. On these routes, you are biking along public roads, so please be aware of traffic, and make yourself clearly visible at all times.
