U3A Cycling June
We have 2 organised rides each month, on the 3rd Monday and the last Friday. We ride mainly on dedicated cycleways.
New members are always welcome.
On Monday 17 July five of us rode from Hagley Park to Northlands on the Northern Line Cycleway then onto The Papanui Parallel Cycleway to Meshinos for coffee. We enjoyed a coffee and a chat in the sun then we returned the same way back to Hagley Park.
On Friday 28 July we met in CBD and biked to the Tannery on the Heathcote Expressway. It was very stop start with all the lights but on a separate cycleway which was great. We had coffee at The Brewery Café which was lovely and warm as the morning was drizzly and cool! We then cycled along the river to PMH and onto the Quarryman’s Trail back to Halswell. There were 7 of us on this ride. Next month our 2 rides are in the same week so we will organise the Monday ride with the Friday as back up if weather is poor. We are cycling from Lincoln to Motukarara.
