Looking for a road bike to borrow for a student team doing the 2021 Coast to Coast

Arthur from Breaker Bay

Hi everyone,


I live in Breaker Bay. For the past two years I have mentored Coast to Coast multisport teams from Aotea College in Porirua. The teams of three enthusiastic students will cycle, mountain run and kayak from the West Coast of the South Island to the East Coast, over two very strenuous days in February 2021. We have two teams getting ready for 2021’s C2C, and we are on the lookout to borrow a girl’s road cycle, for our girls’ team. So, if you have a girl’s road cycle (ideally, plus cleated shoes and a helmet :) ) that you’re happy to lend to our girls’ team, that would be just fantastic … we’re happy to pick it up from wherever and we’ll return it after Coast to Coast, in February 2021.


Email me on arthur.tompkins@gmail.com if you can help!



Cheers,
Arthur Tompkins.

Missing since before the wild weather the other night. Very out of character for her so we are worried. Small black cat with white feet and tummy. She is pretty timid and has gone missing from Yule Street (51). We’re thinking she may have taken refuge in a garage or something the other night. Please sing out if you sight her. Thanks
