The Big One. 100km of riding over a course that is predominantly single track. There is nothing else like it in New Zealand. Now in its third year we have slightly reformatted the event for 2010. Three courses will be offered: 25km, 50km and 100km. Plus a team’s event with a 60km/40km split. Regardless of what course you decide to race one thing is guaranteed: you will be racing in the best mountain bike venue in New Zealand. Forest roads, views and sweet single track set this event off from anything else on the race calendar.

 Wattyl Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge, Taupo Saturday 27 November 2010
This year is the second Contact Huka Challenge building on the success of last year’s inaugural event, an off-road event designed specifically for mountain bike riders. It is a non competitive 80km mountain bike ride on a par in time and difficulty with the iconic 160km Solo ride around Lake Taupo. You will find that due to a few changes forced on us in the forest, the course will be slightly longer than last year. The course takes in 80 km’s of Taupo’s most popular mountain bike tracks, most of which is flowing single track.
