They were gathered in the plaza, by the clock tower in the Square,
With their double shot espressos from the car,
While the Chief Comm gave the briefing, “Keep it safe and keep it fair,
For the first inaugural running of The Gravel and The Tar.”
As they headed out to Ashhurst, there was action from the gun,
With the young bloods ever keen to test their strength
But every move was risky, there was money to be won,
No one keen to leave a gap of any length.
The Aussie’s thought they’d own it, being more suited to the heat1,
For a scorcher had been forecast for the race.
But despite the soaring temps, their plan was incomplete,
They clearly hadn’t counted on the pace.
In fact, the final move went early, far too early some would say,
With 90 k of racing stretched ahead.
The peleton was lazy, it would never stay away,
“They’re dreamin’” was the sentiment oft said.

Gravel and Tar Gran Fondo
The Gran Fondo is a shorter event with less gravel and more tar! Ideal for a challenging Sunday Ride.
We know that lots of Road Cyclists don’t usually ride “off seal”, but we also think that this is a great opportunity to try something a bit different.
We would love you to consider entering the Grand Fondo
Online entries for the Gravel and Tar now extended until 5 pm Friday evening. You can enter on Saturday by going down, in person, to AvantiPlus on Ferguson St before 5 pm, or on the day (Sunday), but only between 6:30 am and 7:30 am.
