Our Goal – to create a Central Plateau mobile bike hub!
Kids simply love to ride bikes. We would like every school in the country to have bikes.
During the month of September, we’ve set a challenge to raise $25,000.00. This is what we need to create a mobile bike hub in the Central Plateau. We’ll buy brand new bikes and a bike trailer which will transport the bikes between the following 6 primary schools. Raetihi, Orautoha, Ohakune, the Kura Kaupapa in Ohakune, Waiouru and Kakatahi.
These 6 schools will share the bikes. They are to be used at P.E as well as at lunchtime. There’s also a budget to help service the bikes as well as to educate the kids on how to look after them themselves.
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 26th time we’ve run this challenge. Hundreds of like-minded cyclists have already helped us buy well over 1500 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 (01-30 September 2025). |
 |
We reach our goal of raising $25,000.00 which allows us to get the Central Plateau mobile bike hub up and running.

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.
