Hello and Welcome to the first New World Tour de Wakatipu!
We are very excited to bring this new event to you. It is a privilege to be able to stage this mountain bike ride over such a great course, and we have many to thank for it, from Millbrook, the Wakatipu Trails Trusts, to the local owners, DOC and many more.
We have been out and about visiting shops and talking to different people and the response to this new event seems to be just positive everywhere.The idea of the 'tour de wakatipu' name, the location and the chance to ride down the otherwise inaccessible right bank all has great appeal.
Now that the Motatapu has finished, we can almost smell Autumn in the air and many are looking forward to what may be the last competitive- or not - ride of the summer.
We were along the right bank of the Kawarau river yesterday and that section will be ablaze in colour from golden leaves when the race goes through.
As time goes past very quickly, we thought a first note to keep everyone up to speed with the Tour was necessary!
Improving the trails
We have been working on bringing a couple of the trails that we will use up to spec, including the Kawarau river trail running upstream on the true left bank from the Shotover Junction. This is an old running trail favorite of Geoff, the race director, from years ago and our friend Warren Skerret and him worked the Remarkable Park deer fence piece into shape about three weeks ago. We spent several hours on the single track section before that, and it got some more work this last weekend from a Chard Farm crew to widen some of the narrow spots. It still is a single track - about 300 metres of it, and will remain narrow overall. We will mark the beginning of this narrow track, so if you don't feel that confident you will have the option of walking it. In the end it's all in the head, well, so Pascale says!
The other section to still receive attention is the track as you depart the Kawarau Bridge down into the gravels pits area. This will be completed very shortly.
And then we'll be all set! |
