Race date is provisional and subject to change.
We are working with other South Island clubs to coordinate dates ASAP.

A loosener after the winter hiatus, the Summer Series opener is a great opportunity to bed in those new pads, debut that new whip and find out where you're at, and what might need some improvement.

Race base and sign-in will be at the end of Bowenvale Ave.

Please note that parents/guardians of riders under the age of 14 are expected to remain present for the duration of racing. We reserve the right to withdraw children under this age from the race if a parent/guardian is not present.

The Location

• The race base is the grass area at the end of Bowenvale Ave.

• There is no water supply on site – please ensure riders bring adequate supplies for the day

• There is absolutely no parking in this area – you will need to park in the car park at the end of Bowenvale Ave. or on the street heading back towards Centaurus Road. Please note that this is a residential street, so please respect the residents that live there and park and behave respectfully (we have had complaints, particularly about bad language, in the past)

• The finish line is up Bowenvale Valley, which can be accessed from the race base via the Bowenvale Valley Track

• The start line is at the top of Victoria Park, just to the East of the Summit Road car park up the hill from the Sign of the Kiwi

• Shuttles will carry riders from the race base to the start line.

• There is no capacity for spectators in the shuttles. Spectators will need to make their own way on foot to view the race
