Have you ever thought of cycling a Multi lap or any of the other events at TAUPO

Plus assist in raising funds for HeartKids NZ. Here,s your chance to do both.

At this 2019 Taupo Cycle Challenge I need to complete TWO laps to be the first by some 30+ laps to reach my 100th lap completion. That’s an average of 3+ laps each year for the past 32 consecutive years !.

A team named Hughes Joinery cycle4heartkids

is being formed to allow new & more experienced riders to join together & ride the ENDURO or any of the other event choices. Already 3 of the 1995 originals have shown more than a passing interest in joining in for some portion of the Challenge weekend.

The Enduro plan is to cycle the 1st lap in 6 1/2 hours, then head off to your motel or Caltex (checkpoint) for a clothing etc break, to be all ready to depart from Caltex by 8.30 for lap two, to be again ridden at a controlled pace. We shall all meet up in Kaimanawa street by the Taupo Fire Station near the end of our 2nd lap, where Team members whether they be Fast Enduro, Solo, 1/2,1/4 lake, Mtn/bike, electric or any other section who have completed their own event, removed transponder can cycle back out at approx 2.45—3pm so we can all don our Team T shirts & cycle into the finish, where Heartkids will have a snack/chat area available.
