Recent storms in the Bay of Plenty have made the original Middle Distance venue at Onepu unusable due to fallen trees and safety risks. So organisers have been working hard to secure a new location at Tui Ridge, where the Middle Distance event will now take place. This new venue change has rearranged the event schedule:
• Sprint and Long events will both run on Saturday
• Middle Distance will now be on Sunday
This creates a tight turnaround for athletes on Saturday, with the Sprint starting from 8:30am, and the Long starting from 12:30pm. To stay on schedule we will be required to move efficiently between events. Updated details are on the event website, and the team is currently preparing new maps and courses for the new venue! If you love riding and navigation we can’t wait to see you soon around Rotorua on 16- 17 May for techy courses and riding fun.
