Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge 2010
Saturday, November 27, 2010
The Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge is the defining cycle event in New Zealand. The course covers a 160 km loop around Lake Taupo. It regularly attracts over 10, 000 participants from pro-racers to first-time riders. You can ride in a relay team, or solo, and you can even choose to complete multiple laps of the lake at once. In 2008 a mountain bike race was included and in 2009 a week of "CycleMania" was introduced that will continue for 2010. So there is something for everyone who rides a bike.
The Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge for 2010 will be held on Saturday, November 27. Please check the official website for more details.
"Taupo" is a great excuse to hang out with your friends and family for a weekend in Taupo. With 10, 000 riders plus support people, it is one of Taupo's busiest weekends and the town provides a great atmosphere.
Massey Cycling is encouraging Massey staff and friends to have a go at riding around the lake. This blog will keep you up-to-date with local rides (Wellington, Manawatu and Auckland) to use as a build-up and help you set training goals. Massey experts in Sport and Exercise Science will be holding information sessions on how to train for your event, basic bike maintenance, and sports nutrition. Keep checking the blog for times and locations.
So start thinking about which event is for you and convince your colleagues to ride around the lake with you.
