Last night we had the pleasure screening RJ Ripper a movie By Joey Schusler and Yeti Cycles. We had an awesome turnout for the evening with all the local Dunedin favourites turning out to enjoy some Emersons pilsner (Shout out to Chris O’leary) Evansdale cheese and of course Roshni’s increasingly famous gingerbread! All proceeds from the night were donated to the star of the film Rajesh Magar a killer rider from humble beginnings in Nepal looking to break on to the world MTB stage. If you haven't seen the film yet be sure to get on down to bikeaholic in Queenstown this weekend or keep your eyes peeled for an online release date!
Sadly April sees the end of Daylight Savings, which means that our Ladies Who Love to Ride evening rides are now finished for the season. The 2017-18 summer has been sublime with such perfect riding conditions, and our group was able to try lots of new trails on Signal Hill and Wakari.

We were so lucky to have extremely passionate and lovely ride guides join us for our rides and share with us their infectious passion for riding! We’ve had the pleasure of welcoming a lot of new...

You’ve just gone and bought some great new riding clothing, and it’s looking all new and tidy. But how do you keep it looking that way and extend the life of your new pieces? Riding clothing can get a bit of a hard life. It gets muddy and sweaty and therefore needs to be washed more frequently than other items of clothing. Many technical riding tops and pants are made from a polyester fabric that’s great for breathability and odour management, and the moisture wicking fabric helps to keep you cool. Polyester is a more delicate fabric than your regular denim or cotton, so it’s important to ensure you are looking after your gear correctly. Here’s a few tips on...
Our very popular Ladies Who Love to Ride Group is a group of women who meet up on a Tuesday evening at 6.30pm to ride the trails around Dunedin. While there is an emphasis on beginners, these rides are perfect for any level of riding experience.
