A unique event in the cycling calendar where teams of up to 4 or individuals cycle as many times as possible around the Manfeild Track, Feilding in the given 6 hour period.
Each team sets their own ride strategy – only one person from each team is allowed on the track at a time.
Timing transponder is passed from one team member to the next like a baton in a running relay.

The documentary follows 8 Kiwi blokes as they take on the adventure of a lifetime, by riding the entire 2018 Tour de France course one day ahead of the pros, while also raising awareness and funds for the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand
While the documentary has a background of cycling, the movie appeals to a wider audience capturing a microcosm of life in 23 days showing the highs and lows as the team bonds together to strive to achieve the goal of riding the entire Tour de France.
Its a must view, and supporting an amazing charity
While the documentary is about cycling, it will also appeal to the non-cyclist with the stunning scenery of France along with the human interest story where 8 strangers bond to become a team to take on the biggest ride of their lives along with the highs and lows of achieving this.
As part of the adventure the team also focused on raising awareness for the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand and in doing so have raised over $85,000.
The documentary itself is approximately 55 minutes long and will finish with a Q&A session with Mike Conza who was one of the eight riders
