Mid-North Island Championships 2006
Round 1, Taupo
Round 1 takes place in Wairakei Forest on Sunday 15th October 2006.
This
round will be a single lap cross country MTB event of about 35 km
length. The course will be similar to that used in the popular
Craters Classic, 96% single track, with great all-weather pumice
surface, on tracks graded 2, 3 and 4.
For
those who want to participate on the day, but are not contesting the
series, and just want some good fun, we have the 20 km Fun Ride option
for you. The 20 km course uses some of the same great tracks, but
grades 2 and 3 only. |
The entry fee for this round is a low
$25, and you get a well run event, heaps of MTB riding fun on purpose
built all-weather forest tracks, and lots of great spot prizes thanks to
our major sponsor the Avanti Plus Corner Shop of Taupo.
(Discounted entry fee of $20 for Taupo MTB Club members)
The Wairakei Forest venue will be sign-posted off SH1, between Taupo and Wairakei, near Helistar.
