Countdown

Get ready for an unforgettable ride from mountain to sea! The Ōpunakē Lions Mountain to Sea Bike Ride is a scenic, family-friendly adventure that starts high above Ōpunakē and winds its way down to the stunning Ōpunakē Beach. Covering around 40km of mostly downhill terrain, riders will travel across working farmland, private farm tracks, and open paddocks - areas that are only accessible for this special event once a year. Whether you’re riding with friends, family, or taking on the challenge solo, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views, a unique off-road experience, and a fantastic community atmosphere. Pedal-assist e-bikes are welcome, and once you cross the finish line, you’ll be rewarded with a free BBQ and a complimentary shuttle back to collect your vehicle. Best of all, every ride supports local initiatives run by the Ōpunakē Lions Club - so you’re helping the community while having an amazing day out. Spots fill quickly - gather your crew, bring your sense of adventure, and be part of one of Taranaki’s most memorable rides!
