Last years event hosted 3500 riders, however indications so far is that close to 4000 riders will line up for the start on Saturday 05 April.


This year a shuttle service is available for riders from Taupo to the start in Rotorua on the morning of the event. Full details and cost are available from the entry form or from the event website www.eventpromotions.co.nz  


A reminder to all competitors that entries must be received by 23 March to avoid the late fee and remember there is also a huge selection of spot prizes up for grabs for everyone taking part including fabulous Avanti bikes, a Suzuki scooter, a Q-Kayak, home trainers and a chance for two riders to win a trip to Adelaide to take part in the Tour Down Under – the highest ranked cycle race in the Southern Hemisphere.


An important component of this event is the chance for riders to raise money, if they wish for the nominated charity, Cancer Research or for a charity of their choice.
