Catering for Cyclists of All Abilities

Matamata Peddlers Cycling Club is a group of cyclists varying in ages and ability who enjoy cycling in good company for leisure, pleasure and for the challenge.

Formed in 2005 the club is growing rapidly, with over 100 financial members to-date.

If you are just getting into cycling, come along and learn how to cope with riding in groups.

It is important for people contemplating riding with Matamata Peddlers to understand what we are about - which is safety, fun, improving fitness, and comradeship. Click here for some cycling safety tips.

We don't leave anyone stranded and out there on their own.

Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge 2018

The day was wet and miserable but more than 35 club members braved the conditions and competed in various events on Saturday. Well done everyone.

No injuries or mishaps were reported, except Joanne burning her hand slightly on the BBQ tongs! I think she will survive though.

Thanks to Stu, Heath, Simon, James, Bryce for helping put up the marquee on Friday and thanks to Stu, Henry & Dave for tidying up and taking down the marquee during prize-giving on Saturday.

Thanks to AJ Power (McDonalds) for donating meat patties and Monique Houghton (Open Country Dairy) for donating cheese. Much appreciated.

Thanks to Joanne and Nathan for keeping the crew well fed by manning the BBQ on Saturday.

The biggest thanks goes to Joanne for all her hard work organising pretty much everything prior to the event and then setting up everything on the day and making sure everything at the Peddlers marquee ran smoothly. Awesome Joanne, many thanks!
