2016 1KC Routes

As 2016 marked the 10 Ride out of Wellington for the C1KC, (now just called the 1KC with rides starting from Hamilton and Wellington), Long John offered an extended option for the Wgtn Route and called it the 'Super Thou'. In true LJS style, this didn't offer more distance, just more corners!  
There were 36 Riders plus 1 pillion for the Nth Ride; 19+1 for the Super; and 21+1 for the Std Sth Rides
