Category: North Island

A 4 Day Tour that follows Northland’s fully sealed Twin Coast Discovery Highway which touches New Zealand’s essence: unsurpassed nature estate, scenery, fishing, diving, walks, culture and heritage, golf, food, wine and people. You will discover New Zealand in a nutshell. A must for participants from both within New Zealand and overseas, the event takes in both the East Coast and West Coast of Northland.  All abilities are welcome to participate – elite riders, competitive masters, weekend warriors, cycling tourists, and social or corporate groups – this is a fun few days with a great bunch.

The “Taumarunui Cycle Classic’ formerly branded as the ‘Dave Logue Cycle Classic’. The circuit consists of 114km of undulating, challenging and beautiful scenery with the race commencing and finishing in Taumarunui. The ride takes you around what is termed locally as “The Ohura Circuit” with the first 25km on SH4 after which you turn off to fast, smooth country roads.

You asked and we have delivered! The first ever Dynamo Events Winter Fun on Gravel! This is one not to be missed, the sleepy rural community of Te Akau has some of the best gravel roads in the North Island.

A very rural setting for this event and obviously the locals are not use to having cyclist racing around the local roads. Please show respect for the local community.

Race starts with a 7.2km section of sealed road, but that is pretty much it with just another 1.6km of seal over the rest of the course.

Gravel surface is generally good with nice wheel tracks to ride in, but watch for the unexpected pot holes!

There is 672m of climbing with most (555m) of this is in the last 35km of the long course, most is gentle climbing between 4% to 6% . Obviously this means for the short ride you have most of the hills.

Take some care on a couple of the fast downhill sections, or you could end up down the bank with some gravel rash!

The Cycle for Life Cycle Challenge is not a road race but a “FUN RIDE” and we believe is Auckland’s longest running charity road cycling event. The event has been organised and run by the Bucklands Beach Lions Club for the past 20 years and in the process has raised tens of thousands of dollars for children’s charities.

The Big Easy on the Hawke’s Bay Trails is the ultimate antidote to all those serious lycra laden cycling events held across the country.  The Big Easy ride is 42kms and we encourage you to take all day and enjoy the many tasty Hawke’s Bay distractions along the way. 

The Raetihi Gutbuster (April 21st, Easter Sunday) is a fun way to experience the scenery and history of the Raetihi – Pipiriki road that lies between the Tongariro and Whanganui National Parks.

Starting outside the Waimarino Museum in Raetihi, it’s an out & back course with options to suit most.  The 18k has been completed by a 6 year old, even though it has a sharp 2k climb before the turnaround. The 50k is hotly contested by locals & out-of-towners, even though it’s a ‘fun ride’.

The road is sealed all the way.

The 25km ‘downhill’ option, is strictly limited to 20 riders, so don’t delay.  

Bike the Bridge! In a once a year event that supports both Bike Auckland and MS Auckland, 4000 cyclists of all levels can bike over our Auckland icon. What bike will you ride over?
