So there are a few events happening this week in the Hawke’s Bay as part of Bike Wise. They are a great way to get a reward for jumping on your bike for ride. I must admit that the weather so far hasn’t been favourable for cycling. I was aiming to ride 20 kms per week, but due to family commitments and weather I have only managed 21kms for the whole month. On the other hand our team here at work has four cyclists participating and we have cycled 870 between us. Hastings District Council as an organisation has racked up a massive 7250 kms over 463 rides with 20% of staff participating.
The first event is on Thursday (23 Feb) and is to entice ladies to get on their bikes. It is a “Frocks on Bikes” fashion show at the HB Opera House starting at 1pm. Art Deco fashion is the focus which will be a nice way to end the Art Deco celebrations held over the past couple of weeks.
On Friday (24 Feb) at the Opera House will be the annual “Bike to Work” breakfast will be provided from 7am to 8.30am. Make sure you call by to say hi and grab a bacon buttie or some fruit for breakfast.
And finally on Saturday is the Regional Council’s Trail Blazer ride along the stock bank pathway from Pettigrew Green Arena to Puketapu Domain. It is the official opening event of the Hawke’s Bay Trails. The ride starts at 9.45am. For more information on the above events visit bikewise.co.nz
Have fun cycling!
