Comment on Taupo/K2 Preparation Ride 26th Sept. by Paul Sharp

That’s a fairly tough course, the three climbs out of Kaukapakapa are quite brutal as a group, don’t over extend yourself on the first two .
Might I suggest for the future, that If you wanted a similar distance and quieter roads that you turn off at Araparera and go through to Warkworth. It’s a similar distance, you get a good climb in at Woodcock’s hill (that’s not a joke) and you will hardly see car all the way to Warkworth.

Thanks Jeff,
I rode once this morning – 2′29″. Not sure which was worse, that or the root canal job I had this afternoon!
cheers

Start is opposite Swanson Play center and the finish is 1km up at the highest point before you get to O’Neills road. You should be able to click through to the map by clicking on the date on the calendar. No plans for a longer hill climb at this point and unfortunately Mountain Road is not an option for safety reasons. Feel free to post your personal times though, it might be interesting to see how quickly people going up there.

I missed the event but I’d be keen to time myself on the course. Can someone describe the start and finish points?

How about a longer hill climb, maybe up Mountain Road?

Thanks for making it happen for cyclists out West.

cheers
Richard
