Jiggles is an extremely funny, talented and accomplished children’s entertainer. He will be on his bike too. But it might only have ONE wheel. Jiggles will lead a short ride for younger children on the shared path, parents to accompany your children on foot or on wheels.

Think that you have the skills to keep your seat? Test your cycling skills on this fun obstacle course. Qualified and experienced staff from Manukau on the Move will provide specialist instruction on how to navigate the course that is set to test your skills going over, around, under, sideways and all ways around hazards!

Ride to Pigeon Mountain BMX track and have a go!
This is a 5 km return ride along the shared Rotary Walkway. The Mountain Raiders BMX club will be at the track to demonstrate how BMX runs and other BMX tricks and spins. This is a great BMX course for young riders and beginners. You need long sleeves and pants to ride. Full face helmets are also compulsory and can be borrowed on the day. Cyclists need to cross one road to get to the track.

Parents we advise you ride along with your children. You can borrow a Nextbike free of charge to ride there and back, but not on the BMX track. Mountain Raiders BMX Club accepts no responsibility for damage or injury caused to any person or property while participating in any activity within the confines of the BMX track.

Bikes are available to borrow from Nextbike. There are no excuses for parents not riding with you on the day. They can borrow a bike for free and have a go. You will need to leave an item as a bond for returning a bike. A credit card, car keys, wallet or a $ 20 cash bond is acceptable.

St Johns Ambulance staff will be in attendance for the whole event.

The event will be held in Farm Cove Reserve. There are many walkways and access points to the reserve including Bramley Drive, Davita Place, Fisher Parade and Sanctuary Point. Limited parking is available down the drive close to the reserve. There is another small carpark off Bramley Drive, at the intersection with Belmere Rise. Otherwise please park on one of the above streets. Remember to be respectful of local residents and park legally.
