Riding to New Brighton for joy and for Joyya

Christchurch, Canterbury

I heard about Joyride in church and knew straight away that I wanted to do it to raise money for children in Kolkota. As I'm blind and have autism I'll be the stoker (engine room) on my tandem bike, with Sarah as my captain (navigator). At around 20km, riding to New Brighton from Southwest Christchurch through roadworks on Halswell Road into the city and along the Te Ara Ōtākaro Avon River Trail is much further than I usually ride and will be a challenge, but I reckon we can do it. New Brighton is special to me because I remember going there with my Dad in the Mini when I was young. Going out on the pier is also as far as we can go into the world beyond.

We'd love your support - please help us to help Joyya.

Sunny's training has not gone so well  8 November 2024

Sunny is still going to be there to enthusiastically cheer us on as Andrew has been wanting to bike with Sunny for quite a while now, but unfortunately got a toenail caught in the gate he usually leaps over with no problems.

In Kolkata a lot of kids have pretty tough lives and don't get to enjoy just being kids. Joyride is your opportunity to bring a little joy!

Thank you Jeanette - the forecast wind will be an extra challenge but insignificant compared to the challenges of life for some in Kolkata
