• All types of bikes and all types of riders welcome.

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.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
