Andrew Luddington is hoping he will have a little luck when he takes on a gruelling ride from Christchurch to Akaroa, all while dressed as Darth Vader.
Luddington is preparing to transform into the Star Wars villain for the upcoming 100-kilometre Miles Continental Le Race cycle event, on an all-steel, 12-speed bike from 1978.
The 55-year-old will be among hundreds of participants at the start line on Saturday, blasting Star Wars music from a megaphone attached to his 40-year-old bike while in full Sith Lord attire.

If you have a view on tackling climate change, charging heavy water users or how rates should be spent, now is the time to let the council know.
For the next month the public can provide feedback on the council's proposed 10-year budget, known as the long-term plan.
The budget sets out a vision for how the council will spend money over the next decade, and is re-evaluated and ratified every three years.
The public can give their feedback through the council website, on the Have Your Say page, until April 18.

Residents of the city's western suburbs face having 252 hectares of new quarries on their doorstep in 18 months, pending approval from councils and the environment court.
