U3A Cycling June ride

This month we met on the north side of the Old Waimakariri Bridge and cycled along the stop bank to Kaiapoi. We then looked around the red zone on the north side of the Kaiapoi River biking through the new wetland area in Norman Kirk Park and then wandered around the extensive Food Forest in Cass St. We had coffee at ‘Paris for the Weekend’ café before heading back through the back streets and along the Main North Rd on the new shared pathway which is just being completed at the Kaiapoi end. It was a lovely morning enjoyed by 6 of us. We may extend this ride next time to include some of the new cycleway along the Northern Corridor and over the Waimakariri Bridge.

Next month we will ride from the Fitzgerald Ave/Worcester St corner to Ferrymead on the Rapanui-Shag Rock Cycleway. We ride on the last Friday of the month. New members are always welcome. Mary
