Join us for a Facebook Live 7pm on Tues 30 May with guests, pro cyclist & head coach James Oram, event ambassador Ian Jones, owner of Ventouro Coaching Tim Gudsell & nutrition advice expert Tom Shand.

It protects you if you can’t make the event for the likes of injury, illness, or public authorities issuing a travel warning for the day of the event, or the day prior.

We’re excited to celebrate our 45th year with all of you, and can’t wait to see you at the start line this year.

If you have an interest in joining our wonderful family of event partners, we’d love to hear from you and have a chat about the wealth of opportunities on offer.

We're stoked that the popular Length of the Lake and Shimano Gravel Grind events will be back for 2023, alongside fan-favourites Round the Lake, Enduro, and the Lakesider 🙌🏼

Join us for the 45th Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge! 🎉🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️ Mark your calendars! Save the date for November 25th and celebrate this milestone year with us 🎉🎉🎉

Completing the double lap Enduro of the BDO Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge is a major feat on its own, but taking out the record is something else! Congratulations Georgia Perry!

These awards represent the essence of the BDO Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge and we are proud to be able to honour people in the name of these awards each year.

The top guns in the 99 Bikes Round the Lake, Shimano Gravel Grind, and BDO Huka Challenge crossed the finish line and took home with them a share of the nearly $20,000 in prize money.

Event day is here, time to put all the hard work into practice.

Enter ONLINE NOW for a speedier rider check in! In person late entries will be available Friday 25 November from 12pm-8pm at the Great Lake Centre.

In the week leading up to the event, you can do more to undermine your training than you can to enhance it.

You’ve been waiting for it - and here it is - the course map for the inaugural Shimano Gravel Grind. Approx. 75km of combined sealed and unsealed surfaces we are really looking forward to this one!

The Lakesider is for you! Your family will enjoy 16 km of leisurely riding that's mostly flat, and offers plenty of jaw-dropping, beautiful scenic moments.

That's right: not only are you going to get to ride in New Zealand’s largest cycling event, but you'll also have the chance to claim some prize money or to win some INCREDIBLE prizes.

Don’t kick yourself wondering what if? With a month to go until the BDO Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge, there is still plenty of time to commit to a few more training rides in the lead-up to the Length of the Lake, the slightly grittier Shimano Gravel Grind, or the action-packed but shorter BDO Huka Steamer and Teaser events.

This year's late entry fee kicks in on November 1st! If you're planning on entering the BDO Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge, you have until October 31st to enter to avoid paying a late entry fee.

It's OFFICIAL - there's over $30,000 in spot prizes to be won! And there’s a total prize money pool of nearly $20,000 between some of our key event categories up for grabs.

Get together and Love The Ride. Here are just a few of the reasons to get your group organised and entered now to Love The Ride with us at this year’s BDO Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge.
