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.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
