Sunday 22nd April: Bike Polo

On Sunday 15th, the first cycle polo (bike polo?) "event" was held at the Soundshell in Napier under glorious blue skies and the gaze of bemused passer byes. There were about 20 people participating. There was an interesting assortment of bikes (and people) and there was loads of fun.

This Sunday 22nd at 3pm, round two of HB Cycle Polo is being held.

Where: Ride through the yellow and black barrier gates at Splash Planet, continue beside the little stream and into the rink.

What do you bring: mallet (if you have one), a yard broom (if you have one), your bike, a great attitude.

What sort of bike: any type (as long as its OK if it drops on the concrete)

In July, there will be a bike polo tournament as part of the Napier "Ride of Your Life" weekend which is intended to draw people from outside the area to HB to raise the profile of cycling in general as well as to boost tourism.
