2017 IKC Routes

This year's rides attracted 40 Riders plus 3 pillions for the Wellington start and 42 Riders plus 2 pillions or the Hamilton start. Another great day for the participants and another good result for Muscular Dystrophy as the proceeds are used to buy Christmas presents for children in the lower Nth Island.

The 1KC (Sth) route (above) took riders about as far North as one can go up the East Coast, without riding on SH2 and that included Tiniroto Rd.
1KC (Nth) (right) was a nice flowy route that included the Gentle Annie
