A ride through rolling country roads and a beautiful lake is worthy of our attention - the Karapiro 100K Flyer outside of Cambridge looks spectacular and has a great atmosphere with 1500 cyclists racing. We also like that you can enter this event solo, or as a 2 person relay team or tandem team.
Rolling out from Clevedon near Auckland, the SRAM Tour De Ranges 110km event caught our eye. Riding through the rolling hills of the Hunrua Ranges and then taking in the sea of the Hauraki Gulf it looks beautiful to enjoy 1100vm of climbing. There is a 30km event and age based team options also available. We're thinking it's going to […]

Le Race is 100km with 1832VM from Christchurch to Akaroa. It's a mixture of challenging hill climbs, fast flats and exhilarating downhills. We loved this race last year; it's definitely one you should do once for the beautiful views along the top of the Bays! Not up to doing the whole race solo? There is […]

Wine, food, racing and friends - it doesn't get much better in our opinion! A vibrant atmosphere and scenic route makes the event so much more than just a race. If you're a super […]
