What a kerfuffle

They’re off: The pre-schoolers get underway in the Kids Kerfuffle at Karāpiro.

Ava Jones of Leamington Primary School planned her ride in the Kids Kerfuffle event at Lake Karāpiro on Saturday weeks in advance.

She even laid out her favourite dress to wear undaunted by the warning from her parents that she was likely to get it covered in mud.

But it was all worth it in the end when the five-year-old got her medal at the end of the inaugural race having ridden through big puddles of water and slid down a water slide.

More than 100 children participated in the event organised by Bicycle Revolution.
