Interested in joining a Sunday or Casual established Rangiora Bike Group?
We run our Bike Groups on Whatsapp mainly for easy adding to your mobile phone and messaging.
If you are interested in keeping fit and joining an informal friendly local group and are a mountain biker with good fitness level or have an EBike and can ride at a medium pace then this could be a good fit for you.
We have varied Sunday rides going on off road tracks or quiet roads. Distances ranging from 25km to 55 km. Medium pace. Our Sunday morning rides have a coffee stop and we have FREE nibbles (hot chips) and refreshments at the end at Monteiths on our Sunday morning rides. Casual rides are all individually arranged.
All ages/genders welcomed however with our current main age demographic being in the 'Senior' bracket.
Our Casual Group is very simple and if you are looking for a ride on any day then you simply put up a post on the Whatsapp group and see who would like to join you for company.
Just comment or message us with your preference for Sunday am, Casual or both and we will send you the Whatsapp join up link/s.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: Canterbury is thriving on paper... but are you seeing evidence of Canterbury's improving economy?
As reported in the Press, Reserve Bank Governor Anna Breman recently gave a shout-out to our region, calling Canterbury a "stand-out" for how we recover from tough times. With tech firms growing and exporters investing, the business side of things is looking bright!
👉 But we know that "business growth" doesn't always mean the weekly shop gets any cheaper. While the city expands, many families feel like they’re just trying to keep their heads above water.
We want to know: With the business buzz of 2026, do you feel like things are finally looking up for your household, or does it still feel like a climb?
