Venue
Due to the feedback from competitors and course limitations we have made the decision to shift the event to Lake Tikitapu (Blue Lake), Rotorua. This also celebrates the fact that our naming rights sponsors BFA have opened up a new office on Whakaue Street in Rotorua.
We have made a change to course in that it is now a 25km loop. This is a combination of single trails and forest roads suited to all riders – all grade 2 and 3 trails.
