Challenge Ride 3 - Waihaha Aid Station to Kuratau Lookout

Waikato, New Zealand

BDO Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge

BDO LAKE TAUPO CYCLE CHALLENGE Challenge 3 is all about the rural environment Taupo has to offer, not to mention the roller coaster profile. You will start in Waihaha, the home of the start of the Great Lake Trails and iconic Tieke Falls. Take in the fresh rural air and views as you wind your way around, up and down, this scenic landscape, and through cuttings in the hillsides making you feel like you’re riding through tunnels of native forests. Look out for the glimpses of Lake Taupo and the snow-capped mountains of the Tongariro National Park. Once you think you can’t have enough scenery, you will finish with view over Lake Taupo. It wouldn’t be our iconic event if you didn’t have a view over our lake, right? CHALLENGE OPENS 1ST OCTOBER 6AM NZST/ CHALLENGE CLOSES 31 OCTOBER MIDNIGHT NZST
