A lovely ride through the hills of Waikato, this route was used in the 2021 Cycling New Zealand Elite Road National Championships. Rolling hills and sunny blue skies will keep you entertained on the trainer!

Here’s the full course used in the 2021 Elite Time Trial Championships. Constant pinches will keep you on your toes along quiet country roads and farmland.

Lake Taupo in the central North Island of New Zealand is the caldera of a supervolcano that last erupted around 186 AD.
This mostly flat ride begins at the control gates to the Waikato River, and winds along the edge of the Tongariro Domain, past the Taupo Boat Harbour and along the lakefront of the city of Taupo, before continuing on the rest of the Great Lake Pathway, finishing on the track at Five Mile Bay.

Starting at the Lakes in Tauranga, this ride follows the track along the Kopurererua Stream into the city, then around the Estuary Boardwalk, across the Harbour Bridge, and through to the finish on Pilot Bay at the foot of Mauao (Mt Maunganui).

Quiet country roads, calm scenery, and blue skies make this a lovely route to ride. There are a few hill sections but you’ll be rewarded with some fast descents.

Take in the stunning rolling hills and quiet farm roads.
