Congratulations to all riders who Faced the Challenge in near perfect conditions on Saturday 24 November. For those of you planning ahead the date of our event next year is SATURDAY 30 NOVEMBER 2013.The Contact Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge is New Zealand’s largest cycling event. One of the reasons the iconic Cycle Challenge is so popular is the wide range of events available to participants of varying abilities and fitness levels including the Solo 160km around Lake Taupo, road relays, mountain bike challenges, separate Men’s and Women’s races, corporate challenges, Enduro events (2, 4 and 8 laps of the lake) and the @Heart ride for kids. The Cycle Challenge regularly attracts in excess of 10,000 riders and, in 2006, was admitted to the prestigious UCI Golden Bike Series, gaining recognition as being one of the world’s top six rides. It also makes up one of the events in BikeNZ’s Summer Series. The Event is always held on the last Saturday in November. |  Clearance sale $29.90Now is the time to think about your training and here is a great guide, written by Amy Taylor Click here to purchase |
