People are being invited to jump on their bikes and help light up the Redwoods as the annual Matariki Ride the Night approaches.
Rachel Doelman, Rotorua Lakes Council's sustainable journeys co-ordinator, says there were about 80 participants at the event last year.
She says Matariki Ride the Night is a
great opportunity for whānau to get out of the house and connect with nature and other people.
Rachel says biking is an avenue to bring people together, connecting with nature and the elements.
"Getting out on bikes and embracing the fresh air will hopefully inspire people to create wellbeing goals for themselves, their friends, and their whānau for the year ahead."
