It's Lupin season!! 🌸🪻🌷

The best place to see one of these iconic flower displays is on the Alps to Ocean Classic! Starting right in the heart of Tekapo, a sea of pink and purple hues surrounds the turquoise blue waters.. not to mention the snow-capped mountains backdrop.

The flowering season is fleeting with the best time to see it in full bloom during late November - early December.

"Thank you so much for my new bike!"
"Yay I can bike to school now"
"Wow cool!"
"Really, is this for me?"
"It's even got a computer!"

These are just a few of the comments from kids who received new bikes through our partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Christchurch.

Little Zoey (2nd 4th pic) was overjoyed and is now biking to and from school every day, she's also been out for an eager Saturday morning bike ride with her Big Sister. Who says "she is being so careful to take great care of it and even made sure I loaded it very carefully onto my car". Another young man has been constantly riding his around his back garden so he can practice.

We're honoured to support this incredible organisation and bring smiles to these kids' faces.
