PAIRS INFO
Pairs racing is a fast growing trend in the global mountain bike scene. The Volcanic Epic pairs event is the pinnacle of the mountain bike stage racing experience in New Zealand. You and your teammate will ride through some of the best trails the geothermal region of Rotorua, Taupo and Tokoroa have to offer. You’ll get bragging rights, traversing unique volcanic and culturally significant areas, usually closed to cyclists. Pedal hard and chill hard. Meet other like-minded riders on the trail, and share your day's adventures over beers, burgers, and beats at the end of each day. STAGE DATES
The 4 stages take place from Thursday 23 to Sunday 26 March. |
