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

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park.
