SUMMARY:Bupa Healthy Cities Challenge — Flat White Ride (West Auckland)
DESCRIPTION:West Auckland’s Flat White Ride is back — a free map connecting around 10 routes (roughly 65km all up) between New Lynn\, Avondale\, Henderson\, Glen Eden\, Titirangi\, Green Bay and the Te Whau pathway. It’s a mixed bag for a mixed bunch of riders: flat off-road shared paths\, a few hillier on-road stretches\, and one scenic gravel track through the Waitākere Ranges (kauri dieback tyre-washing applies). \nThis September\, EcoMatters has partnered with Bupa for the Healthy Cities Challenge: ride\, walk\, scoot or skate any part of the route\, then enter online and share a photo of your outing. Every entry funds a native tree planted in West Auckland\, and puts you in the draw for a $3000 e-scooter package — plus two runner-up café vouchers from Deco Eatery and Bodega Eatery — thanks to Bupa\, and the Waitākere Ranges and Whau Local Boards. \nFree to enter. Runs until 30 September 2026. Pick up a printed map at EcoMatters Bike Hubs (New Lynn and Henderson) or download it online: ecomatters.org.nz/flatwhiteride
