Start Point - NPD, Lower Queen St, at 9 am. Stands up at 9.30 am.
Please gas up at NPD, also BYO food and drink or buy at NPD. (we will be stopping at Tapawera at some point in the ride, so you will be able to gas up there, plus visit the 4 Square. The cafe at Tapawera cannot be relied upon to be open on a Sunday).
The saddles we will be visiting will be - Neudorf (sealed), Baton Saddle (sealed and gravel), Tadmor (sealed) and the second Tadmor (sealed and gravel). Lastly Hope (sealed). Five saddles in all.
Note we will not be visiting Rosedale and Flora Saddles.
We will be operating a Corner Man system, so hopefully no one gets geographically embarrassed. That’s lost.
