It';s a great event & tons of fun. I did the first 80km's as part of a team back when we first started cycling. Certainly wouldn't do it in the wet :shock: . The winds were bad enough when we participated!!!

I would however love to do the Colville Connection! 8)

G'day

What are the dates? Hoping to ride the K2 route in December when I am staying in Thames.

Regards
Andrew

Thanks, unfortunately I can't get there for the ride itself, so hope to ride the route itself later in the year. My sister lives in Thames which helps :)

I've already booked my flight and accommodation. If you want to stay in Taupo, book accommodation soon - there was little available when I booked a few weeks ago.

Never done it before but sounds like a fantastic event :)
