International Cycle Race 10-14 January 2024
Road Safety Reminder
LOOK OUT FOR CYCLISTS – BE PATIENT ON THE ROAD
A reminder for all road users to take extra care and be patient on Wairarapa roads between Wednesday Jan 10th and Saturday 13th January.
This it because the UCI 2.2 Mitre 10 MEGA New Zealand Cycle Classic international cycle race is on. It involves around 100 elite international cyclists + a large convoy of race officials, race cars and Ambulance. The convoy will be escorted by the NZ Police and traffic management crews.
You may be asked to slow down, pull over to the side of the road or to stop your vehicle completely to let the convoy safely through.
A safe race does have some rules. Always obey the instructions of police and motorcycle escort marshals, volunteer marshals and race staff. Cyclists will be racing through Masterton, Alfredton, Gladstone and Martinborough during these three days.
Please show your support for these athletes from Australia, Great Britain, The Netherlands, Japan, France, USA, and of course New Zealand.
For the first time ever, this five-day tour will see the peloton race around the picturesque Carrington area (back of Carterton) on Saturday, 13th January and then through our Golden Mile, or Lambton Quay area on Sunday afternoon in the thrilling final circuit race.
