Sunday 19 October
10am - 12pm
Onetangi Sports Park

Are you mountain bike curious? Do you have a bike but don’t know how to get started trail-riding? Do you look longingly at the bush-clad hills of Onetangi Sports Park and wish you could get amongst it on two wheels? Mountain biking is so much fun - it’s great for physical and mental health, gets you out into nature, and is so exciting and exhilarating (NOT scary - unless you want it to be!). Come along to our Mountain Bike Sampler day at Onetangi Sports Park and give it a go with guidance from experienced riders. We’ll start with some basic skills on the field before hitting the Grade 1 Family Track for a couple of laps. Then we can break into two groups - those who want to head up the hill for something more adventurous can do so, while those happy to keep practicing on the Family Track can stick with that. No one will be left behind or pressured to do anything they are not comfortable with,

Riders of all ages are welcome. You will need a bike in reasonable condition (preferably with front suspension) and a helmet. And water!

RSVP to help us plan for numbers!

Monday 27 October
10am - 3pm
Meet at Four Square Onetangi!

Let’s do the loop!

Meet at the Onetangi Four Square to go on an epic ride to discover Waiheke’s eastern end.

We stop for lunch at Man O’ War, so bring your wallet or a picnic. Bring a charger to charge up your bike if you’re battery-powered - there's first-come-first-serve space to charge your battery! The hills are legendary, the gravel gravelly, the views unparalleled.

Test your legs and meet new bike friends!
