Historic Kopu Bridge welcomes Tour Aotearoa Cycling Brevet
When the first wave of the 2021 Tour Aotearoa Cycling Brevet departs Cape Reinga on Sunday 21st February, participants will be heading for Bluff on a 3,000km journey which will bring them over the Hauraki Rail Trail to Kōpū. The Historic Kōpū Bridge’s gates will be open to welcome them to our area, weather permitting, from 7am to 3pm (or later, volunteers permitting) from 21st February to 5th March. Tour Aotearoa participants will be just over 500km from Cape Reinga when they reach Kōpū, and about 2,500km from their destination. For a few weeks, the Historic Kōpū Bridge will be one of the most photographed heritage structures in the country. Throughout this period, the bridge is open to everyone: cyclists, walkers, joggers, birdwatchers… or if you have some tales to tell about the old days on the bridge, come along and share them with the volunteers. If you would like to join the roster for this event, please contact us. www.historickopubridge.co.nz... - facebook.com/savekopubridge - historickopubridge@gmail.com

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
