๐Ÿ‰ Hurricanes! Hurricanes! ...and weather updates ๐Ÿ‘‡

What a night for Pลneke - a Bike Rave and a Super Rugby Final.

For those joining the pre-rave ride out from HNRY Stadium at 4:30pm, we'll be meeting at the top of the spiral path near the train station before rolling over to Petone together.

As for the weather, we're keeping a close eye on it and will make a final call on Friday.

Until then, keep charging those lights and polishing those questionable outfit choices. โœจ๐Ÿšฒ๐Ÿชฉ
