Wellington Masters 2 Day Tour of Martinborough
Wellington Anniversary weekend – 23 and 24 January 2021
I’m looking for a ‘show of hands’ for interest in this event. I’d like to make it a fun weekend away for all club members. The grades cover us all; from A to F grade – what a bonus!

I see the weekend going a bit like this:
Friday 22 January 2021
Head to our accommodation in (or near) Martinborough late afternoon, recce the course if we want, have a light dinner, check our gear, early to bed – yeah right!
Saturday – Day One
Morning – A short 8km TT
Afternoon – a graded stage of the following:
Sunday – Day Two
Morning – Another graded stage that looks like:
Afternoon – LUNCH – and prizegiving just after mid-day
Home in time for tea ?
And – the great thing about ‘F-grade’: you ride together! That’s right, similar to the Social Circuit in our regular club races, the F grade be ‘no-drop/stay together’ rides (with racing only to contest sprint points), so KCB’s, KGB’s, anyone else, this could be a fun format to try a mixed club weekend away.
Costs
ENTRY FEES (all distances - includes Sunday lunch):
Early Bird (until 7th January)

Shared accommodation (if we can find it) will lower costs and we can have a shared meal/BBQ on Saturday night.
I’ll start looking for suitable houses/hostels/tree-forts in the meantime. Assuming I can find something suitable (price/size/facilities) I’ll ask for a deposit before booking and this will be non-refundable.
If you happen to know of a suitable place (maybe it's yours, maybe it's a friends), do let me know.
