The 6th Capital 1000K Cruise

Saturday 10 November

Departs: Caltex Rimutaka, Upper Hutt.
Check-in opens 0630. Depart when you're ready up to 0700.
Organised Starts also from Masterton; Napier; Turangi (reverse direction) and the Manawatu Riders start early to restart from Welly then finish back at Palmy. Details TBA.

This is an informal ride for those North Islanders that would like to do the Southern 1000km Longest Day Endurance Ride, but can’t afford to pay The Ferryman.

Route is ≈1,025km via: (* denotes digital pic required)
Rimutakas - Masterton – Mauriceville* - Saddle* - Stanway* - Vinegar Hill - Turangi* - Taumarunui - Awakino* - Pungarehu* - Parrot ‘n Jigger
Refreshments & Meals available at P’nJ to enjoy over the trading of lies.

Entry Fee: $15 (Covers Badge &/or Year Bar plus proceeds to Muscular Dystrophy)
To guarantee a Year Bar, entry must be in by 25/10/12

Badges & Certificates awarded on sighting Check-Point evidence at completion of the ride.

As an informal ride, you and your bike are your responsibility to ensure both are capable of completing the course. There is no recovery vehicle organised.
A register of riders will be kept to ensure everyone returns.
There are Spot Prizes.
It is not a race and should be easily doable at a sedate pace with stops…enjoy the ride.

The ride will go ahead rain, hail or shine….probably....or pending the Wed/Thurs forecast.

Enquiries & Registrations – PM or email me

This should be a pleasant wee pootle this year, especially for any that haven’t experienced the delights of riding the Awakino Gorge & Surf Hiway

The $15 entry fee (non-refundable donation) covers the badge &/or year bar and the profits go to Muscular Dystrophy.

The $15 is required at time of registration please and we have to order the year bars, so these can’t be guaranteed for entries received after 25/10/11. Account details will be supplied on application.

As per previous years, Ride Instructions and a Briefing will be emailed the week before the event.

Well it now looks like there will be at least 3 of us starting at Turangi. I have the job of organizing that start and finish. Mike Couchman from Whangerei is also interested. I'll look forward to seeing you cheers Jim

Details are emailed to registrants, not publicly available. The provided info gives you a fair idea and you know it's going to be just over 1000km.

This looks like an easy ride with some very nice sections to light the smile.

With nearly 6 weeks to go, we currently have 20 riders registered…with another dozen or so having indicated interest but yet to confirm (with the pingers).

At this stage the 20 (of which 4 of these are newby C1KC virgin types) are: 13 starting from Wellington; 4 from Wai’rapa; 2 from Turangi; 1 from Napier ……and that’s 0…none…zilch….zip…nada from Palmy???? (I think they’ve all turned to the Dirt Tracking Dark Side) So, check with your mates and give them a nudge.

So….if you are considering doing the ride but haven’t yet registered (paid), I will be placing the year bar order on 25/10/12, so to be guaranteed your badge/bar, you will need to be in by then.
