The Big Easy 2019

Dates

  • Sat 20 Apr 2019, 10:00am–5:30pm

Restrictions

All Ages

The Big Easy on the Hawke’s Bay Trails is the ultimate antidote to all those serious lycra laden cycling events held across the country. The Big Easy ride is a gentle ride and we encourage you to take all day and enjoy the many tasty Hawke’s Bay distractions along the way.

Please make sure you register by 24 March. After this date, your preferred t-shirt size may no longer be available for selection during the registration process.

Easter Saturday 20 April: The Big Easy 
Saturday 20 April will see us riding out from Church Road in Taradale, and onto the Hawke’s Bay Trails. After enjoying 42km of tasty stops, you will aim to finish at Black Barn Vineyards for the finale party and concert which starts at 1.30pm (but if you take longer that’s ok, it means you are enjoying all the distractions along the way!).  Note, this is a COURSE REVERSAL from the 2018 event.

The 'Family Start' features again, to help little legs (and some not so little legs) make it to the finish line. Starting at the Spirit of Napier sculpture on Marine Parade, the Family Start ride is approximately a 25km ride.

Adults $35 and Kids (15 and under) $15. For that you get a top notch t-shirt, concert entry and access to the Big Easy deals on the route so you can stop, sip and sup your way along the ride. 
If you have family and friends wanting to join you at the concert, they can purchase a 'concert only' ticket for just $25.

Transport can be booked so you can leave your car at the start or end and not have to worry about finding your way back. Transfers are $10 per person, per transfer.
