(ROAD non E-bike) 70km Road Ride with coffee break at Onehunga - 26-29km/hr pace

Details

Meeting at Greenlane Countdown we will do the well-known 70km airport circuit in a clockwise direction taking us through Newmarket, Tamaki Drive, Glendowie, Point England, Panmure, East Tamaki/Botany before heading to Manukau, the Airport and back to Greenlane via Mangere Bridge and Onehunga, stopping at Onehunga Mall for a much deserved coffee/chat.

This is a non-drop ride however you must be able to maintain an average sustained pace of 26-29km/hr. We will regroup at intersections/stick together as a bunch so no-one is left behind.

What to expect
All riding will be on normal roads with some riding on main roads although earlier than peak times.

If it turns out to be heavy rain the event will be cancelled.

What to bring
Spare tube, tools, pump/CO2 cylinders, snacks and water. It is essential that your bike is in good working order.

Level of Fitness
A good level of fitness is required. You should be able to ride for 3 hours at an average sustained speed of 26-29km/hr. Because we are riding on roads that are in use, a good level of comfort riding in traffic is required. Ideally you should be an experienced rider that is capable of this speed across the distance.
