Following some really good feedback after round 2 of the PaknSave Summer series we have decided to add an early start option beginning with the Summer Series Event 3 - Rice Mountain Classic, riders wishing to do the full Gran Fondo distance, but would like to have a bit more time up their sleeve, may start 30 min before the main pack (e.g. 9.30am). The Series will provide a lead moto, but you will need to carry own spares. The support car with spare wheels and broom wagon will remain behind the main bunch and can pick you up if have any major mechanical issues. This is a good way to allow the riders to challenge themselves over the full distance and to tag onto suitable bunches as they come through from behind, if at all! If you are keen on starting early, please let the timing team know by email jonathan.jackson32@gmail.com), or on the day at Registration prior to 9am.
​
There are two ride distances, and you are free to choose:

Gran Fondo: 90km
A challenging hilly course in the back drops of the amazing Wairarapa Countryside. With the right gearing, one of the best hill-challenge courses in New Zealand.

While out on course you will climb Limeworks Hill, Te Wharu-return, Te Kurarau Hill, Admirals Hill.

Medio Fondo: 59km
A challenging hilly course in the back drops of the amazing Wairarapa Countryside. With the right gearing, this remains one of the best hill-climb courses in New Zealand.
Your ride finishes at the top of Admirals Hill climb – after a fabulous (leg busting) 10km!
While out on course you will climb Limeworks Hill, Te Kurarau Hill, Admirals Hill.
