davetapson Posted February 13, 2020 Share Who is up for the NZ "Epic". Not me but my Sani partner's son has done it a few times and reckons it to be tough; technical and chilly. That's what my buddy was first trying to get me to do - maybe the Whaka is the easy way out... But this is on the bucket list... As well as Lake Hawea - another buddy did it last year and said it was awesome. Edited February 13, 2020 by davetapson Saag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saag Posted February 13, 2020 Share The Epic is this one: https://www.lakehaweaepic.co.nz/ I have heard it's also super tough.I recall this one now. Remember looking at the 160km version, also on the bucket list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayleyearth Posted February 13, 2020 Share Deal. Let's do it then... If there is a group of you that are keen to 'do it for fun', I will be keen too!I am not up to a good fitness at this moment, but I think I can have some fun and enjoy a beer or 2 at the end We are trying to get our little girl use to us doing all sorts of outings (hence the Hauraki trail adventure last weekend). I think it is good for her to see us participating and mingling with people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intern Posted February 13, 2020 Share One of my buddies is trying to entice me to do this - given that 'Wh' is pronounced 'F' I'm wondering about the name... https://www.whaka100.co.nz/index.html 100km (that doesn't worry me), 3200m ascent (given what I've seen of NZ, that worries me...) Just wait 'til you see the Whaka-Local T-shirts. davetapson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Potgieter Posted February 16, 2020 Share To all the kiwi peeps. On TVNZ on demand is a series called “people on bikes” that profiles great kiwi rides around the country. It’s worth a watch! hayleyearth and Saag 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
