This is an easy 8 to 10 KMS FUN RIDE so everyone can complete it in a leisurely fashion. See some of the interesting sites around the city and enjoy part of the beautiful riverbank shared pathway including the He Ara Kotahi bridge.

Some great photo ops, so bring your camera or phone.

DEPARTS – CYCLISTA CAFÉ, GEORGE ST, PALMERSTON NORTH. 10AM
• Get that old bike out (or your current one) and enjoy the ride!
• All types of bikes and all types of riders welcome.
• Open to all – children must be under parental supervision.

PRIZES FOR BEST DRESSED & BEST BIKE

This is the Greasy Chain’s annual Retro Ride so we’re encouraging you to dress retro and if possible, ride a retro bike. However, everyone who wants to ride irrespective of bike or gear, is welcome.

Theme for the ride this year is “Back to the Future”. Please use your imagination and get involved.

Great spot prizes, music, and discounted coffee and drinks thanks to Palmy BID after the ride at Cyclista.

A registration fee of $5 is being donated to Arohanui Hospice, so it’s a good cause to support.

We’d like to see around 100 riders participate to showcase the joys of cycling, so please register and bring your friends.
