The Taupo Cycling Club runs 2 race series a year. Next Series Commences Tuesday the 7th of Feb 2012.
The Taupo Motorsport Park offers the perfect training and racing environment as there is no traffic, plenty of room and 3.5km circuit of smooth seal to ride on.
The series has been made possible with the continued support from sponsors, along with the Taupo Motorsport Park allowing the cycling club to use the racetrack.
The Club will continue to run Skill Nights, a week or 2 prior to the start of racing, which are dedicated to all new riders, including juniors, who wish to familiarise themselves with bunch riding and general road riding skills. There will be experienced cycle club members on hand to give guidance and advice. This is a perfect opportunity for those cyclists considering riding the Lake Taupo Challenge and other upcoming summer cycling events to come along and get comfortable with riding in a bunch, which is an essential technique for personal safety and the safety of those riding around you, while conserving your energy. There is no cost to cyclists for the skill night.
Every rider that finishes receives points, with additional points from1st down to 5th place. This is a graded race, so there is a grade available for all abilities - Grades are A,B,C,D,Womens and Juniors. Final tally and prize giving is held at the end of the series. Taupo Club members ride for free and racing is $5 each race for all non-members. For more information please go our website taupocyclingclub.org.nz.
Parking at the Motorsport Park is behind the main buildings, access from the Off Highway road on Broadlands.
