'Maungatuks Crazy' Fun Ride

On Sunday 21 September Maungakotukutuku Road, just off Valley Road, (and several kms from Paraparaumu), will be a hive of activity.  Between 8am and 2pm cyclists will be climbing the 2km ascent to surpass a (collective) total of 1,000 climbs for the day.

There will be plenty of prizes up for grabs, with the male and female with the most climbs winning a Hammer Nutrition bundle of goodies.  Additionally, all riders with 15 or more climbs are in the draw for a pair of Bolle sunglasses from Grylles optometrists.  And everyone who completes ten or more climbs will be in the draw for a host of other spot prizes.
