Time: 4-7 hours, Distance: 46km, Cycling Grade: 3
This is a classic ride in the Central North Island. You need to be prepared as there is no easy way out of this ride once you start. Plenty of up and downhill sections to keep you entertained - check out the cross section of the track at the Kapoors Road end. This track is best to ride when its dry as there is heaps of sections with super slippery papa-clay. This ride is now also a part of an increasingly popular adventure race held in May called the T-42. You will need to organise a shuttle to get you back to the start, or a very friendly friend who doesn't like to ride bikes who can pick you up at the end....... The beverage at the end is well deserved!
Bikers beware: unfortunately the carpark at Kapoors Road can be a popular area for car break-ins.....
