The distances will be about 100km/day rather than the 150km the tour riders will complete (it is a holiday after all!)
This tour is aimed at road riders with experience riding longer distances and potentially in a bunch situation. It is NOT a race! Graded riders will be asked to submit their grade details so that we can arrange for riders to depart in groups of a similar skill/fitness level. Weekend warriors are welcome too. The full six-day all inclusive package $2000 +gst. Includes transport, accommodation but not bike hire. To register click here. Registration code: Huri2017. |
