1 Waipuna 12.5kms 07:10   Starts tight, opens, excellent fast flowing finish on a hard base

deceptive corners, then finishes with a fast up hill climb
3 Taumatamaire 22.06kms 09:28   Very technical stage, tight and tricky – be aware. Soft if wet. A driver’s nightmare
from last year!!!!!

5 Ohura 41.5kms 11:14   Best stage of the day! Has everything tight, fast, soft, hard, but best of all Long!!!
6 Roto 15.2kms 12:46   Tight uphill to start, opens in the middle to a very tight uphill to finish. Watch for
cautions!!!!!

flowing finish
8 Waitewhena 39.5kms 14:17   Competitors’ favourite from last year, however this year we are running in reverse
direction. This will test the fitness levels!!. Fast flowing wide start closing at the top
of ridge, then a tricky tight downhill piece, to a fast flowing finish.
9 Tangitu 12.5kms 15:37   Tight and narrow all the way has soft middle section. Be Aware this will BITE!
