Are you ready for this ride?
For our bike ride events, these are aimed at people newer to riding in the area, and riding at a 'silver' level.
If you have not ridden a bike for a long time or lack confidence we would recommend attending one of Auckland Transport's Bike skills courses or at least reviewing the silver standard to check you are ‘ready’ for a group road ride at https://at.govt.nz/cycling-walking/courses-events/adult-bike-skills/
