Countdown is on for the Bauer Pukekohe Express

Entries are pouring in and riders are out training as we countdown to the revamped Bauer Pukekohe Express. 

Around 2000 cyclists are expected to take part in either the 100k or 50km events which will see cyclists riding a scenic circuit course from Pukekohe to Waiuku via Glenbrook Rd before returning to Pukekohe via Waiuku Road and the finish outside the Pukekohe Town Hall

Open to anyone with a bike, both events offer a great mix of flat and rolling countryside to suit riders of all levels of fitness and ability.

With the days starting to get longer and the weather warmer it is noticeable the numbers of riders who have dusted off their bikes and who are now hitting the roads getting as much training in as possible.

Although there will be a large number of experienced riders taking part, the event has been designed to be achievable by riders of all abilities. Event Director Murray Fleming from Event Promotions adds “we really want to encourage those you haven’t been on their bike for a while to get out and give it ago. The course we have used is very rider friendly and the 50km event would be a wonderful goal for those new to cycling”

As an added incentive there will be over $70,000 worth of spot prizes up for grabs including fantastic Bauer road bikes, Sirius Tacx home trainers and an Escapade Q-Kayak.

The event starts and finishes in Pukekohe on Sunday 19 October, online entry; printable entry forms and other information including a route map on the Bauer Pukekohe Express Pulse can be obtained by visiting the Event Promotions website on www.eventpromotions.co.nz
