The second North Island 1,600 is locked and loaded for the weekend of 10-11 October 2015. We’ll be starting and finishing at the Turangi Kiwi Holiday Park.
It’s time to charm your family, book your leave, imagine whereabouts this year’s route will take you, put the hard word on your distance riding buddies, get a registration form completed and sent in to us, and then start counting down the days!
Details about accommodation arrangements, pricing and everything else on offer can be found here. There’s an online registration form and also a PDF version that can be downloaded, and returned by post or email.
We’re also keen to have a keen and dedicated bunch of volunteers who are able to help out with making happen everything that’s necessary to run this event. The support we had from this year’s team of volunteers was amazing and much appreciated by the organising group as well as all of the participating riders. You folk were amazing, and many thanks to you all once again!
