This is an informal ride for those North Islanders that thought the North Island 1600 might be fun but want something a bit easier first. We’re running out of new roads because the boys won’t let me use my “Wai’rapa Delights” route, so this year we’ll try the Forgotten Hiway from West to East....and throw in a bit of Fordell-Hunterville for those that haven't...and it's just a damn shame that we have to take the Para's (again) to get from one to the other!....and of course the Apiti loop is usually a pleasant pootle
Route is ≈1,018km via: (* denotes digital pic required)
Rimutakas - Masterton - Mauriceville* - Halcombe - Whanganui - Stratford* - Forgotten Hiway - Taumaranui* - Fordell -*- Hunterville - Vinegar Hill - Kimbolton* - Apiti -*- 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 20/10/14
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 funded by Protecta Insurance, who have also made a generous donation to the Muscular Dystrophy coffers.
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
