Labour Weekend 2023 … Saturday 21st – Sunday 22nd; 10am – 10am … 24 hours of non-stop riding around the trails of the Arapuke Mountain Bike Park. Crazy? Probably. Awesome? Absolutely!

It’s back! Bigger and better than ever! …. And probably for the last time 😕  So we’re going all out. This year we have a team of over a dozen riders, all looking forward to taking on the 5 day challenge that is TONZ 2023.  Woo hoo! 🤩

Aannnddd he’s back!  Brendon’s set a new date for his attempt at the record for cycling Cape Reinga to Bluff – November 2023. It’s all on and he’s looking for your support! This is going to be HUGE – cycling the length of the country in 4 days … crazy! But he’s training hard, preparing well and is totally focused on getting this right – we’re all right behind him! What a challenge!

I am going to walk from Cape Reinga to Bluff on the Te Araroa Trail October 2022. I am taking a break from my work as a midwife, and as I turn 61 I want to to make the most of my health and time and I want to see this fantastic country up close and personally! Spinal Cord injury is close to my heart as I have a nephew who lost the use of his legs in a car accident 26 years ago. He is the most amazing human, a wonderful husband and gorgeous father and a really beautiful…

Proudly representing the Leeston Cycle Club & Canterbury Cycling in New Zealand’s largest cycling stage race (Oct 30th – Nov 5th) and bringing awareness to the New Zealand Spinal Trust. Several of our team through work, whānau or friends, have a direct connection to NZST’s efforts. Add to that almost every cyclist knows of someone who’s been injured doing sports they love. Some of those injured have needed the additional care and support only a Team like NZST can provide. So our group has decided to make this about more than just cycling – we want this journey to make…

Brian’s growing a mullet for a year to raise awareness and money for the NZST – a cause close to his and his fiancee’s hearts, due to suffering a spinal injury in 2020, and they’re passionate about it.

Arron might not look it but he must be slightly mad! Not only is he running a 42km trail run … it’s probably the toughest, highest, most grueling marathon trail in NZ … there could even be snow because it’s being run in May (the 14th, to be precise). Does this sound like a man who might be questioning his life choices? Maybe. But he’s determined to achieve some good along the way!

Roxy’s Mum works for NZST so Roxy’s heard a lot about what goes on and how NZST supports positive futures. As someone who L-O-V-E-S running she can’t imagine not being able to. So every time she takes on a big new challenge she tries to raise some funds to help those who might never walk, let alone run, again.

Mark, Brenton, Chris, Dave, Andy and Jayden will be taking on the Arapuke Mountain Bike Park for 24 hours on Waitangi Day 2022.
