Pokeno pedal power

For a healthy day in the country, check out the Pokeno Wheels and Heels Fun Day on Sunday, March 20. The event is based at Pokeno School and includes a 32km or 56km cycle ride, and an 8km walk or jog along peaceful country roads. For kids from pre-schoolers to 10-year-olds, there's a free programme of bike safety lessons and games. There will be food and craft stalls in the park-like grounds, and overnight camping is available. Entry for the cycling, walking or jogging events is $15. Entries will be accepted on the day or you can register online until tomorrow.
