Marton’s Pedal 4 Pleasure 2023

Marton’s Pedal 4 Pleasure

Sunday March 26, 2023
Wilson Park, Marton alongside Marton’s “Harvest Festival”.
There will be three cycling courses available, each designed to suit the needs/requirements/abilities of the various cyclists taking part. Each course is to be run as a separate event, starting at different times. The three events are each limited to 100 participants.
Rangitikei Gold is 86km long and is designed for the more enthusiastic cyclist who may want a challenge. (Starts 8.00am)
Marton Challenger is 42km long and not quite as challenging. (Starts 10.00am)
Tutaenui Gentle Pace is just that. With gentle hills and only 22km long. This is the one for families and those who don’t need such a challenge. The return home is all downhill. (Starts 11.00am)
The lucky draw comes at the end of the event. But you may wish to wander around the Harvest Festival before going home.
Last year there was a prize for every participant and it is highly likely that it will be the same this year. The major prize is a “Lazboy Chair” donated by Ward’s Furniture of Marton
Electric bikes are welcome

Tuesday Night Recreational Rides

Garry buys is pleased to announce that from Tuesday 4 April (first ride after daylight savings finishes) there will be 2 rides running from Evo cycles on Tuesday’s and Thursdays.
In addition to our usual shop ride, Michelle will be organising a shorter ride for those that are recovering from illness/injury or those wanting to reignite their cycling after a few years off from the pandemic.
The shorter rides will be shorter than the usual ride and at a slower pace to encourage everyone to get out and ride their bikes. The short ride will start at 30kms distance, and over time as the group progresses, we will be working up to the full distance. This ride will be at a slower pace so that everyone can enjoy the ride, rebuild their fitness and nobody will be dropped – we will still meet up with the longer group for the usual post ride coffee and the banter.
Meeting in the EVO cycles carpark at 5.50 for a ride briefing before departing at 6pm, we’d love to see you there – so dust off your winter riding gear and charge those lights and come and join us If you have any questions, drop Michelle a message and she’ll get back to you
