Ride Safe. Ride Well. Be Seen!
WEEK END BUNCH RIDES |
"We don't judge you.... We're here to support you" |
"Doesn't matter what shape, doesn't matter what size, doesn't matter what kind of bike you've got, doesn't matter what kind of gears you've got, get on board" JR
Saturday rides are Whanau rides.
For most of these rides we ride as one whanau bunch for the course we have mapped out. We employ a Tuakana-Teina approach. Our lead riders buddy up and tautoko the beginners. The distance and elevation of the course is adjusted to the ability of the bunch.
It's not about the distance or the how fast you ride, this ride is about whanau and riding as one with a focus on our lead riders helping others.
Alternatively we may start together as one whanau for a 5-10km warm up. After the warm up we then split into FRESH, TE KARERE or TAGATA PASIFIKA to complete the set routes and end up at the same destination for coffee!
The rides empower and upskill riders with the skills to cycle safely and confidently in their environment of choice, eg Commutacating, Pathway riding, road cycling or events. Rides are open to anyone with a bike and helmet-
