The Longest Day Ride is when cyclists all over New Zealand ride from sunrise to sunset on the longest day of the year (Thursday 22 December 2011).
Riders set themselves a personal challenge and raise money for Arthritis New Zealand. Some of the riders live with arthritis, but they don’t let it stop them from enjoying life.
2011 is the third year the Longest Day Ride has been held. You can find lots more information here.
Fund Raising for Arthritis New Zealand
Please give generously to Arthritis New Zealand to help them support the more than half a million Kiwis who will have arthritis in their lifetime. In 2010 we raised over $2,400 for Arthritis New Zealand.
You can donate to Arthritis New Zealand here using your credit card.
