7th Capital 1,000 Km Cruise

[Hitcher]

I think it was the 07' GC it was the time check point

It was a cracking sprint race from Turangi to that hall for the time check. The weather at that stage was perfect. Little did we know about what was to come a little further up the road...

It was only a little rain and wind!!

Why, I recall heading over the hibiscus Coast Hiway and the rain was falling so heavily, it bounced so high it had to fall again....now that was heavy....and the wind later on, going through the Waipoua forest and coming down SH10....why it just about blew the wets off my back!!....not that I needed wets then because the wind had already blown the rain to China! ....and on the extension.....sheesh....now that was wind. Why, it even blew a cop right into my path and he almost sent me walking!!

Aaaahhh....by gum...but what a ride! Alas poor Rusty...I knew him well.

A Briefing, Ride Instructions and Sample Check Point Pix are emailed to all registered riders a week before the event.

Again this year I will be looking after the northern Start. The start point will be the "Z" Station in the main Street of Putaruru, at 6.30 am.
The finish will be at the Okoroire Pub at what ever time you can get in. I will personally allow 13 to 13.5 hours. I expect to be at the Okoroire from about 7.45pm through to about 9.30pm or until all the northern starters have finished or I know where they are.
I enjoyed last years event and I am looking forward to this one.

Thanks to those who have registered so far.
