Summer Series Event One – Report
A calm overcast Wairarapa day greeted riders for event one of the PNP Pak’nSave Summer Road Series, the Ocean Beach Challenge. Rain threatened but never quite arrived. The turnout was fantastic with almost 100 riders participating, 74 in the 82km Grand Fondo and 23 in the 60km Medio Fondo. The calm muggy conditions foretold a fast race for the Grand Fondo.

Max’s machine will help all Wellington’s riders prepare for the experience, pips and all. Why did you decide to build a st
