Riding With Olivia
Posted by Brian Clarke
 
Our speaker on Monday evening, 29 June 2026 was Jeff Marchant, along with Ron Beernink.
Jeff established a charitable trust in late 2022 as a tribute to his late wife Olivia who passed in that year.
"Riding with Olivia" is the Lower Hutt chapter of a Danish Charity "Cycling Without Age" {CWA} which was established in 2012 and has since spread to over 50 countries. including here in New Zealand. The Lower Hutt chapter has been operating since 2023 and is now based on the Petone foreshore and has 3 Trio-bikes at their disposal.
