Organisers of the Ruapehu Cycle Classic are excited to welcome Garmin on board as sponsor for their 2012 event.

Founded on the principles of innovation and performance, Garmin are the global leaders in satellite navigation. Whether you ride for fun, fitness or to feed your competitive edge, cyclists around the world enjoy tracking ride data and training information on Garmin’s extensive range of cycling computers.

As a brand which embraces an active lifestyle and provides motivation and inspiration to sportspeople, Garmin is the perfect sponsor for the Ruapehu Cycle Classic. Back with a new format for 2012 and now part of BikeNZ’s Summer Series, Ruapehu Cycle Classic riders can look forward to three days of pedal power in the Central Plateau from 10-12 February 2012.

There are three events to choose from or why not challenge yourself to the weekend tour and do them all? The action kicks off with the fast and furious Friday night Criterium around the streets of Ohakune.

Saturday’s traditional Ruapehu Cycle Challenge now brings you a choice of two distances: 80kms or 160kms of pure cycling pleasure. Sunday’s Race to the Sky will test the legs and the lungs with a gruelling 17 kilometre road climb from the base of the Ohakune Mountain road to the car park of Turoa ski field.

Be part of the action this summer; get your entry to the 2012 Ruapehu Cycle Classic in today. Entries and information at www.cycleclassic.com.
