🚲 What a fantastic day for our community!
A huge congratulations to the organisers of this fantastic community event - EBOP Community Network and Chris Ford Events. What a brilliant way to bring local organisations, clubs and community groups together and help people discover just how much is happening in our community.
There are so many budding cyclists out there, and it was fantastic to meet people with such a great knowledge and passion for cycling. 🚲💙
We were also absolutely thrilled to see such a deserving winner of the biking prize!
This young cyclist had unfortunately suffered an injury while wearing his old helmet, which meant that helmet could no longer be used. So it was a real pleasure to see him walk away with a brand-new helmet combo prize. We couldn’t have wished for a more deserving winner. ❤️
It was also great to see families, young people and adults all getting involved, making connections, finding out about local groups and discovering activities and services they may not even have known were available.
Carolyn Hamill, Whakatāne District Councillor and Sasha Cessford - Whakātane-Ōhope Community Board had an absolute heap of fun representing the Bike Trust! 😄🚲.
A massive thank you and congratulations to everyone involved in putting the event together. Events like this are such a great reminder of what an amazing range of people, organisations, clubs and opportunities we have right here in our community.
