Orange Bike Ride 2023 - 30 April - even better than last year
Orange Bike Ride 2023 - Paraparaumu - on Eventfinda
Following a successful event in 2022, we are organising another Orange Bike Ride in Kāpiti this year, scheduled for 30 April. The Orange Bike Ride aims to promote cycling as a sustainable means of transport which helps us to address climate change through a standout and enjoyable family-oriented event connecting New Zealanders with the local Dutch communities in as many regions as possible across Aotearoa New Zealand.
Arriving from 9.30am in Otaihanga Domain the Start will be at 10am, with prize giving at 11.30am. Prizes are given for the best orange dressed bike and biker.
Dutch biscuits for everybody, plus games and activities for the children upon finishing the track, hosted by the council.
Full O Beans Coffee will be there with their coffee cart, serving Dark Horse.
People can ride the reasonably short track along Waikanae River once or multiple times. While waiting for prize giving, games and activities are available for the children.
For more information and registration please go to the following link in EventFinda:

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!
