2018 North Island 1600

This year saw 33 entries with 1 DNS and 3 DNF's
​

The Route

This would rate as one of Long John's easier routes, but the early stages did include some 'new-for-some' sections around the Apiti area, then down around the Wairarapa Coast (even the forbidden option, to sample a little gravel), but after that it was pretty much main highway stuff.
