With less than a week to go, the forecast is fine and the Rotorua Bike Festival is ready to roll with 10 days of events that celebrate all things on two wheels.
The festival opens on Friday with two free events.
Sport Bay of Plenty's invitation to Go by Bike to school, work or play is in the morning, and there is a unique opportunity to ride the Rotorua Airport in the evening.
This will be followed by the, spectacular Flying Kilo straight-line time trial for licensed riders, which will be live-streamed on the festival website, thanks to local companies, Fever Pitch Visuals and bluedog media.
More than 600 entries are expected for Bike the Lake on the second Sunday of the festival. It is a chance to circumnavigate Lake Rotorua.
