Need a mountainbike?

I have been talking with companies around town about bike hire for our Mountainbiking sessions starting this week. I'm delighted to report that Carl and the team at BikeHQ in their new premises in Halifax St are happy to support us and will be coming along to ride and help share their mechanical knowledge at each session. He will also be bringing along 4 of his hire bikes for us to use free of charge.

However, I know there are more than 4 of you that need to hire a bike though .... so some more options to consider .... Dave from Biking Nelson has agreed to offer a special rate for hiring one of their bikes (complete with a helmet and gloves). $30 for a one night hire (pick up Thursday afternoon, return Friday morning). If you would like to talk to him about a discounted rate for hiring a bike for the full month then talk to him - I am sure he will be open to discussion! Dave also wants to help share his enthusiasm for moutainbiking and will be coming along to help guide you. Alternatively Stuart's Cycles (the Avanti shop) in Hardy St also hires bikes. It would be $40 for a Thursday pick up, Friday morning return.

Diane Winter (one of our Active Woman) has a spare mountain bike that she is willing to lend someone for the next few weeks. It fits her comfortably (she's about 158cm) and belongs to her sister who is looking to sell it once the mountainbiking sessions are over. Give Diane a call on 548 2026 or email her on dwinter@xtra.co.nz if you would like to borrow it. Thanks for your offer Diane!
