The Slicks and Stones Gravel Assault will start and finish in the beautiful little village of Apiti in North Island’s Manawatu region, which has become known as "the Gateway to the Ruahines", with many opportunities for tramping, hunting, horse trekking and of course cycling.
This year, the “Assault” will have two categories, the Full Assault, 120kms (elevation 1,882m) and the Half Assault, 60kms (elevation 1,062m). Both courses will include about 80% gravel. They will start early morning from Apiti at 7:00 and 7:15 to take advantage of the cooler conditions. You’ll complete a full circuit, returning to Apiti with time to freshen up for the post-event buffet lunch at 12:00 in the Apiti Tavern and Eatery.
On Friday 31st March, the Apiti Tavern and Eatery, a thriving local historic pub with mouthwatering menu and fully licensed bar, will be the venue for participants pre-event dinner. Come early, stay over, and join your new found mates to talk all things cycling (and particularly tomorrow’s gravel assault) over a sumptuous carbo filling meal hosted by award winning chef and Apiti Tavern owner, Grant Kitchen. Among Grant’s many credits are Manawatu Chef of the Year, Chief Judge of World Master Chef, butler to the Sultan of Brunei, and a damn good guy! Entry fees for both the Full and Half events, include a great discount (thanks Grant) on the pre-event dinner and the post-event buffet.
And of course, after your big event on Saturday 1st April, chat with your comrades over a hearty buffet in the grounds of the Apiti Tavern.
