From the Field Friday...
In today's #FromTheFieldFriday, our sustainability advisor Rob Dunn was delighted to present prizes to Paraparaumu Beach School staff for their efforts in this year's Love to Ride Aotearoa Bike Challenge!
During the February challenge the school's staff rode 590 kilometres, with a 12 percent participation rate. Throughout Kāpiti, cyclists made the most of our sunshine days and beautiful tracks and trails, clocking up over 50,000 kilometres of riding overall.
Ka rawe team, keep up the great cycling! 🚲 🚲 🚲
