Cycle or walk for Brynderwyn forest adventure fundraiser

The success of stage one of the Waipu Cycle and Walkway is widely known and now fundraising in underway to extend into stage two. The trail will eventually reach Waipu Cove but the next stage will address the area along Cove Road which is becoming busier with traffic and more dangerous for cyclist and walkers with each passing season and especially over summer. 

The growing use of the track proves what an enjoyable excursion it can be for all ages and abilities. The Waipu Cycle and Walkway Trust are holding another fundraising Forest Adventure on Sunday October 28, exploring the Brynderwyn hills and forest either by cycling or walking. Cyclists will need a gravel-ready bike to manage the forestry roads, and e-bikes are welcome. This is not a race, but an opportunity to explore the Brynderwyn forest tracks and enjoy the spectacular views now that the forest has been logged. It is also a great chance to get out somewhere different with family and friends. 

The tracks are hilly (naturally) and will involve a moderate level of skill on a bike. Routes vary from 10-20km (20km is a double loop) for the bike, and 5-10km for the walk. There will also be a 2km bike ride for children followed by games. The event will start at 10am beginning at the top of Massey Rd (right at the top) and the event will be signposted from the village. Parking available up Massey Rd. 

Registration is at 9am sharp for bikers and 9.30am for walkers. Entry is cash only, $30 per family, or $15 per individual. Devonshire tea and coffee will be provided on site after the event. The yellow bike raffle (bike kindly donated by Ray White Real Estate) will be drawn on the day at the beginning of the event.

Come along and enjoy a great morning out and a bit of exercise as well!
