Final session for 2012

This Tuesday we head instore with Carl at Bicycle Business in Halifax St (inbetween the library and Burger King) for a session on bike maintenance.
See you there at 6.30pm.  No need to bring anything except yourself.

Can you spare 90 minutes in February?

Every 90 minutes one New Zealander dies of heart disease. Could you spare 90 minutes to help during the Heart Week Street Appeal?

Either Friday 15 or Saturday 16 February?

MTB'ing this week

This week we start our mountainbiking sessions. 
These will be based from Branford Park, which is the grassy area on the left as you enter the Maitai Valley (off Nile St). 6.30pm
You will need a bike and a helmet.
If you don't have access to a bike, flick me an email and I will see what I can do.  Morgelyn has also offered her husband's Mountainbike for someone to use for the next two weeks (thanks Morgelyn).  She lives in Nile St, so handy to organise for anyone in need.

You do not have to have a mountain-bike for these sessions, just a bike that can go off road, ie has tyres that can handle being on the grass and tracks (not smooth road tyres).

At the start of the session, I will ask you to place yourself in order of confidence, so please don't be concerned that you will be riding with expert downhillers!  In the past we have had three/four different groups, and the instructors will cater to your group - so be honest with yourself to get the most out of the session.  We start off on the grassy fields and then work our way up to going on some of the surrounding tracks.  Heaps of fun!
