The first stage of the Great Taste cycle trail that will soon extend out to Motueka, Riwaka and Kaiteriteri and up the valley, will be officially opened next Saturday at a ceremony at the new Waimea Cycle Bridge, near Richmond.

A barbecue and refreshments will be available, and a toll will operate on the bridge for a gold coin donation on the day. Riders can then go on to explore the "Food & Beverage" trail further for a late lunch or cruisy afternoon, then book a cycle shuttle for later in the day to return to their starting points.
