A message from a local mum if anyone keen to share 🙂

Hi there
My son is 11 years old and obsessed with mountain biking. We spend a lot of weekends on different trails in the area.
His most favourite one is Mt Hutt.
I’m asking if there are any like minded parents or riders who would be keen to ride Mount Hutt with us.
I can’t always take him as need an adult or someone older going down with him, then someone obviously has to shuttle the car.
I appreciate any help
I’m more than happy to take other kids.

Please message Alana Shefford if you can help.

If you’ve been thinking about joining a fun and award winning committee - this is for you.

It’s your chance to:
🚴‍♂️ help shape and grow one of Waimate’s signature events
🏃‍♀️ meet great people
🚶 raise money for the community
🤓 gain committee and event experience

The hard work was front-loaded when the event first started. These days it’s more about growing what we’ve built, trying new ideas and getting involved as much - or as little - as suits you around event time.

Come along to our AGM:
📍 The Waimate Kitchen & Bar
📅 Tuesday 2 June
🕖 7pm - 8pm

No obligation - just come say hi, find out what it’s about and see if it’s your kind of thing.

Conveniently, it’s also Take-In Tuesday… pizza and fries for $20.

We told you it was a fun committee. 🍕🔥

The continuing dry and mild late autumn weather has kept the tracks dry and fast, leaving us with great conditions and forgiving us for our late running summer series this morning!
Fantastic to see five youth riders joining in the fun in our adult/youth race - this is what chocolate fish races are all about!
Only a handful of kids today - unusual for such a fine morning, but happy faces for all who did race around the course with plenty of room for all!
Well done and thank you to all who raced and helped out!.
See you next month for the final race of the Summerish series and the presentation for this year's winners.
