Challenge Ride 1 - Mission Bay To Hatepe Aid Station

BDO LAKE TAUPO CYCLE CHALLENGE If you’ve never ridden this event before, then you’re in for a treat; if you have, you’ll know what we’re talking about. This section of our course is our most iconic with amazing views of the Lake Taupo across to the Taupo township. You will wind your way through the tight corners of State Highway 1 along the lakeside, you may even see some of the locals jumping into the lake from Bulli Point! You will ride through some local lakeside villages before you get to the most memorable part of our course, the Hatepe Hill climb, some call it the Hatepe Heartbreaker!
