The Ride Holidays 100km Matariki Challenge
24-26 June 2022
The predawn rising of Matariki in the mid-winter sky marks the changing of the seasons and the beginning of the Māori New Year. On the 24th of June, New Zealand celebrates its first Matariki public holiday. It is a day of remembrance, celebration and looking forward to the future. Wherever you are in the world - we can all relate to this. Over the course of the long weekend we are challenging you to ride 100km.

Prizes are to be confirmed – but they will be epic. All prizes drawn out of a hat under the strict supervision of a black Labrador.
Extra prizes for the best RH photos (ideally in pink) attached to your strava ride. Or, tag us in on socials. Please wear your RH kit.
Cost – nothing compulsory – however, we will be offering t-shirts (for sale) and in doing so we’ll be adding a donation to our kids bike charity.
