Southstar is running this event as part of the Rotorua Bike Festival, here's all the details:
Date: Friday 26th October 2018 4pm-8pm
Event Description: Ride one timed run on Corners Track, with no chain and therefore no pedalling. Focus on coasting, pumping and flow. We have tried it and it is possible!
