Our Goal – New bikes for Te Puke Primary School!
Te Puke Primary School is special. Their kids simply love to ride bikes. It’s a big part of the school life. Their bikes are used at lunchtime and are also part of the P.E program.
We would love every school in the country to be like Te Puke Primary. Kids who want to ride bikes & teachers who encourage them to do so.
The problem they have is that the current set of bikes have been thrashed. (That’s a good thing) They’re at the end of their life and we want to help.
There’s a core group of Te Puke, Papamoa, Mount Maunganui & Tauranga cyclists who are going to help us buy new bikes. To do this we need to raise $16000.00. (This is enough to buy 30 brand new bikes and helmets)
For the month of October – our cyclists will ride 5,000 vertical meters over 3 consecutive days. Quite the challenge but all for a good cause. This will be the 25th time we’ve run this challenge. Hundreds of like-minded cyclists have already helped us buy well over 1200 bikes throughout New Zealand.
Getting kids engaged in physical outdoor activities is important. The health and well-being benefits are huge, especially for young kids who don’t necessarily have the same opportunities as you or I did when we were at school.
Thank you – Karl from Ride Holidays

How it works
|
Cyclists sign up as a rider. Each cyclist is given a profile to promote and collect sponsors. |
|
Sponsors pledge their support. All donations (from within NZ) are tax deductible. |
|
All you need to do is climb 5000vm over three consecutive days (01-31 October). |
 |
We reach our goal of raising $16,000.00 which allows us to support Te Puke Primary School with new bikes. |
Sponsors
Sponsors, you will receive an email with instructions on how to pay your sponsored amount. You can choose to pay before or after your sponsored team has achieved their goal. Payment will be made via our Charity's Givealittle page. Donations over $5 are eligible for a NZ charitable giving tax receipt. Taka Trust (Ride Holidays official charity partner) is a registered charity number CC52630. Any questions, please contact us.
We are always looking for new groups to take up the challenge.
You can even pick the school. The more kids on bikes, the better.
