Pedal Power Social Evening: A cycle around Taiwan before the Big Orange says go
🍽 Dinner optional from 6:00 pm | Talk begins at 7:30 pm
Earlier this year, Cora and her partner Ian spent 55 days cycling nearly 2,000 km through Taiwan. Their approach to travel is simple: “Organised trips are not travel!” They set off without a support crew or a detailed itinerary, planning to explore Taipei before riding an anticlockwise lap of the island and heading into the mountains.
Taiwan is only about 400 km long, but its high country promised plenty of climbing. How would their loose plan hold up once they were on the road?
Join us as Cora shares photos and stories from the journey, including the places they discovered and how their independent tour unfolded. Whether you’re dreaming of a cycling trip of your own or just curious to see Taiwan from the saddle, come along for an evening of travel and conversation.
Questions and discussion will follow the presentation.

2026 Pedal Power End-of-Year Party
Join us on Tuesday 15 December, from 5.00 pm to 8.00 pm at Black Mountain Peninsula for a relaxed end-of-year get-together with the Pedal Power and wider cycling community.
We’ve chosen Black Mountain Peninsula this year to make our festive celebration more family-friendly and would love members to feel they can bring the kids or grandkids along too. With a playground and plenty of open space, there’s room for everyone to relax and enjoy the evening in their own way.
Pedal Power will put on a sausage sizzle, and we invite you to bring a plate of fruit, snacks or something sweet to share if you’d like. We’ll have a few casual outdoor games, including bin cricket, or you can simply enjoy catching up. Feel free to bring along your own soccer ball or favourite outdoor game to share.
Rather than a gift exchange, we’re keeping things simple: good company, something to eat and a chance to celebrate the festive season and another year of cycling together.
As we’ll be providing the BBQ, please RSVP so we know how many people to cater for. You’ll also be able to let us know about any dietary requirements, including vegetarian options.
