SUMMARY:Bike Ride: Norris Park to Till's Lookout/Taitua Arboretum
DESCRIPTION:This short cycle ride from Hamilton’s Norris Walk Park is fun for all the family! \n\n\n\nLeaving the CBD via separated cycle paths then back roads\, the route visits Till’s Lookout\, which offers extensive views back over Kirikiriroa city. Paths become more rugged as the route wends its way through an agricultural landscape before entering the forestry cover at the back of Taitua Arboretum. \n\n\n\nThis group ride is an opportunity to join other like minded people who want to explore locally by bike and haven’t had the opportunity to explore. It’s a great chance to experience the choice of cycling routes in cycling distance from Hamilton CBD. \n\n\n\nThe route is mainly on sealed paths with a couple of short\, sharp inclines which can easily be walked if required. There are some gravely paths around the arboretum. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLink to Komoot here.

SUMMARY:BOON Art Bike Tour - Central City
DESCRIPTION:Covid-19 has decided to shake things up for us this year. Instead of running a group ride to explore the great street art in Hamilton’s Central City we are giving you the chance to explore in your own time and at your own pace. \n\n\n\nThis year’s loop includes some old favourites and some new pieces to check out. Grab some friends or family members you enjoy the company of and spend some time to see how some talented artists have used the city as their own canvas. \n\n\n\nTo find your way around we have made a map of the artwork locations along with a route to check them all out. Check out the map here: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1vrDLgQtrP384XMN8fHNiV16lJ_n8mwn2&usp=sharing \n\n\n\nDon’t forget to tag Bike Waikato in any photos posted online with your bikes in front of some art.
