The 7th Capital 1000K CruiseSaturday 09 November
Departs: Caltex Rimutaka, Upper Hutt.

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. This year we have tried to get as far from Wellington as possible with resorting to an ‘out & return’, or being too boring. This is also to make it easier for any Northerners that need a fix after no GC.
Route is ≈1,040km via: (* denotes digital pic required)

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 (hopefully – still looking for a sponsor).
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.
