Interested in joining a Sunday or Casual established Rangiora Bike Group?
We run our Bike Groups on Whatsapp mainly for easy adding to your mobile phone and messaging.
If you are interested in keeping fit and joining an informal friendly local group and are a mountain biker with good fitness level or have an EBike and can ride at a medium pace then this could be a good fit for you.
We have varied Sunday rides going on off road tracks or quiet roads. Distances ranging from 25km to 55 km. Medium pace. Our Sunday morning rides have a coffee stop and we have FREE nibbles (hot chips) and refreshments at the end at Monteiths on our Sunday morning rides. Casual rides are all individually arranged.
All ages/genders welcomed however with our current main age demographic being in the 'Senior' bracket.
Our Casual Group is very simple and if you are looking for a ride on any day then you simply put up a post on the Whatsapp group and see who would like to join you for company.
Just comment or message us with your preference for Sunday am, Casual or both and we will send you the Whatsapp join up link/s.
Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
Share your Christmas mishaps below!
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
