Kind weather greets Huri Huri riders

The weather was kind to participants for for the Pedal for Parkinson’s challenge yesterday.

The event, part of the Huri Huri Bike Festival, helped raise money for Parkinson’s Wairarapa.

Cyclists had an option of three tracks, 72km, 43km or the 15km hill climb. The participants started from Gladstone Vineyard, meandered through the Wairarapa Valley and then tackled Admiral Hill.

The event organiser Catherine Rossiter-Stead said on Monday, registrations for the event were lower than expected, but hoped people were waiting to check the weather on the day.

“Paddle for Parkinson is a lovely event,” she said. “The idea is something fun and different too.”

Times-Age photographer Jade Cvetkov followed the cyclists’ progress yesterday.
