Stage 2
“Waikakaho Cullen”
Stage 2: Get out of Havelock and ride east. Teams pick up the Waikakaho Cullen Creek Track which follows an old gold miners route between Waikakako Valley on the northern side of the Wairau River, and Cullens Creek Valley near Linkwater. The track is ridden as an expert-grade MTB route that should present an interesting challenge in the dark of the first night of the race.
