I talked with the main organiser for this ride last night - dates above.
For those who haven't done it it goes from Lake Waihola (about 20mins South from Dunedin) through forestry, some bush, then farmland and finally with an optional blast along the beach (140km/hr). Total distance if you do evrything has been around 120km.
Lunch is at the far end, they cart your fuel, and most fill up again after the beach blast.
They have an easy main trail with graded loops off this for advanced and expert riders.
The event has grown to around 580 riders last year, mainly 'cos it is a great ride and really well organised.
