U3A Cycling November
This month our 2 rides happen in the same week! Unfortunately, the Friday ride had to be cancelled due to cold wet conditions.
On Monday 20 November we cycled on the Te Ara Otakaro Trail from Swanns Road,
Richmond, to New Brighton. There were 7 of us and we enjoyed the sunshine and quietness of riding through the Red Zone.
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.
