The programme comes to west Kaipara following four years of success in other parts of New Zealand. For example, last year’s Christmas ride in Christchurch attracted more than 300 participants. Dargaville’s Harding Park has been developed to be an ideal Rural Riders’ venue, with easy access to downhill trails facilitated by the Kaipara Cycling group. “Everything you need to get involved is provided free of charge,” says Sadie Cogan. She is supporting the initiative wholeheartedly, along with other Kaipara
Cycling members and her colleagues from Time To, Dargaville’s bicycle shop. “You don’t even have to bring your own bike to come and enjoy a Wednesday evening ride.

A shelter and a barbecue station are also being added, thanks to community spirit and council support. “Come on down to Harding Park on Wednesdays from 5.30pm for Rural Riders, or visit us at 10am on Fridays for Friday Ride Day,” says Sadie. “We’re getting more active, as cycling becomes more popular, and we’d love to see you there.” Rural Riders will continue every week until Christmas, then pick up again in February 2025. ¢
