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:

After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
