Adaptive Mountain Biking Give-it-a-go event

Come and give it a go, meet other keen adaptive riders, and check out a range of adaptive bikes and trikes! Our goal at #AdaptMTB is to get you out riding again or riding for the first time. We will have experienced helpers and riders to help and support you to get out and give it a go.

PARTICIPANT TICKETS: If you are keen to participate and try the adaptive mountain biking equipment we will have at this event please book one of the one hour session tickets. By having scheduled sessions we can be sure to have the right equipment and enough helpers so you can get the most out of your time. This event is being run over two days, Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th July, so please be sure to pick a ticket with the date and time you are wanting to attend.

FAMILY, FRIENDS & SUPPORTERS TICKETS: If you have whānau (family) and e hoa (friends), or a support person coming along with you please book them a "Family, friends & suppoter - [DATE]" ticket too, this is so we know how many people to expect on the day. Please note while this event is a great chance for your family and friends to learn about adaptive bikes, e-bikes and trikes - we do ask that they don’t ride them. This is because we have a very busy schedule, and several bikes are electric assist so the batteries need to last the whole day to ensure that all adaptive participants can have a chance to try.

LOCATION, CONDITIONS & WEATHER: The main meet up area at The Sails venue is undercover so we will have some protection from bad weather, this will give you a chance to meet your helpers and get set up on the equipment you want to try without getting too cold or wet. If you're feeling comfortable and if you're keen you can then head out with your helpers for a loop around a grade 1 trail, this would be through the forest so please dress for outdoor conditions. We will have a changing area set up for after your ride so you can change out of any wet or muddy clothes, should you need too. There will be hot food provided from the rad team at Rapid Relief and/or you can grab a hot drink at the iSites cafe just near our location.

POSTPONEMENT OR CANCELLATION: We are hoping that there won't be any reason to postpone but if there was a major weather event that hits the country we may still need to reconsider this for the safety of our participants and volunteers, or the potential damage of equipment on loan to us. Again we would give as much notice as possible if the event was to be postponed.
