Hiya,

start will be at 10.00am.

There will be two or three spectator points - $5 gets you a van ride to these spots all day.

Can you take high res shots ? I may need a few for Bike Rider Magazine article.

If I had broadband and afew more clues I would paste a map on here.....

But if you Google Te Wharau Road, Gladstone, you should be sweet.

However - if you turn East at 'the square' in Carterton, follow that road to the end, turn left, then about 2km up the roads take a right, that will take you past the Gladstone pub, keep going to the next intersection, then turn left. Go through Gladstone past the school over a bridge, and tight left hander, tight right hander, the it's about 400m on the right.

Easy eh.

Or ring me 027 2311 873 if ya get lost.
