The Wild Ride will span the entire 32km length of Te Aka O ¯ ta ¯kou (the Otago vine) on Sunday, April 19, offering engagement for the whole family. Participants will be encouraged to explore the scenic shared pathway between Portobello and Port Chalmers, collecting stamps in a special Wild Ride ‘‘passport’’. ‘‘These yoga stretches are about bringing relief to the lower back, opening the chest and shoulders, easing tight hips and hamstrings.’’Attendees will be able to take away a free guide showing the five yoga stretches. ‘‘For the bike, with the cars, I feel like it is safe to be here, so I come around here.’’The Wild Ride takes place on Sunday, April 19, from 10am.
