Well done to Team Unitec in this year’s Aotearoa Bike Challenge!
With COVID lockdowns disrupting so many events around Auckland, the Bike Challenge was a great option for those who wanted to take part in an event in their own time and bubble, throughout February.
‘Bike Champion’ Udara Wickramasinghe, Senior Administrator in our Enrolment Processing team led the charge this year, with support from our Wellbeing and Sustainability team. Udara invited staff to be part of ‘Team Unitec’ and cheered the team on throughout the challenge.
