Anyone here live on Waiheke Island ?

[jellywrestler]

I'm looking for someone to do a lap of the old Waihkek Island NZTT Circuit please and tell me how long it is


The old info shows a distance that contradicts what I measured on google earth, i measured more than once, but i'd like to have someone do a lap to check it with their speedometer,
It's a clockwise loop from Ostend along onetangi road, into Sea View road then back to Ostend

Had a bloody blast doing this run, way back in the day.
I will find out our route taken , it did have a few twists to it the circuit.
Far as I know we all rode the Original TT course from way back in the day.
I'll try and get you the course directions and K's.

That sounds like the Fat Bikers ride that we couldn't get to.

charge basemap to aerial view and under more is the tool for measurement.
you can do areas and elevation as well it will even measure the tree heights.
shows property boundaries to a reasonable degree of accuracy.

onto that, not only is my partner a cartographer i wrote a 250 page book on road racing circuits and measured every single one as i didn't trust the datad supplied, and I needed accuracy. here i just want the reassurance for an article i'm doing, and maybe a photo of someone actually doing it
