Catering for Cyclists of All Abilities! e-Bikes welcome!!!!
At Matamata Peddlers' Cycling Club we have members varying in age and ability, who enjoy cycling with friendly people for leisure, pleasure, fitness and the challenge. We have pre-planned rides at different levels and distances, from fast, through to those who want to ease into cycling. Importantly, these are organised to try to get all riders finished and back to a cafe for a catch-up at about the same time, but at different levels of sweaty, from a light sheen (Group 1), to full on hairy Greek wrestler (Group 4).
Formed in 2005 the club is now in its 19th year of fun, social, healthy, cycling-related activities. This includes weekly rides on Wednesdays and Sundays, family fun events and support for members participating in national events such as the Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge.
If you are just getting into cycling, or would like to, come along and learn how to ride safely in groups. You'll soon learn to love having someone in front of you breaking wind (for want of a better term). I can highly recommend Kev in this regard.
Matamata Recreational Peddlers is another group who ride Wednesday mornings at 9, catering for the more social cyclists (many with e-bikes). Contact Peddlers' member Neal Butt (nealbitunes@gmail.com) if you'd like to find out more details
Challenge yourself! Come and join us this Sunday!

You'll always have a mate to ride with at Peddlers - no-one gets left to ride alone (or in Latin, no-onus uni-cyclus).
