Spokes Canterbury brings you Sunday Cycles – guided rides along some of the city’s major cycle routes from the centre of town. Each ride will typically follow a major cycle route out of town, navigate across to another cycle route and then return to the city centre using that. We will not be on cycle routes all of the time, so you need to be confident cycling on roads with traffic. The rides are usually around 20-25km in length but today’s ride is a little longer if you ride with us both out to Sumner and back. There will be a social catch-up at the end of the ride at Scoundrel, 375 St Asaph St.
This Sunday the ride will be part of “Pedal for Palestine”, out to the sea at Sumner. Unlike our other Sunday cycles, this ride will start at the Bridge of Remembrance. Be there by 1pm so you can hear about what’s going on, and so we can be ready to roll out at 1:30pm. We will be making out presence known as we head through the city centre and then heading out of town on the Rapanui Shag Rock Puari ki Rapanui cycleway. There will be a brief stop in Sumner at the far end of the esplanade, and for those that wish it, we will guide a group back on a route that joins the Heathcote Express Puari ki Kahukura cycleway. The trip out to Sumner is 15.6 km and the return trip is 15.8km
More details about the event can be found on the facebook event and this image of the flier.
Because this ride is a bit longer than other Sunday cycles, it will go straight to the social gathering at Scoundrel in St Aspah St, and it’s likely we’ll get there around 4:30pm or a little later.
If you’d rather join the ride somewhere along the route, we will have a GPS tracker published as a comment on the facebook event, so you can see where we are. We will be passing through Latimer Square which is the usual Sunday Cycles meeting place.
