Great Kiwi Gravel

In the interest of keeping things simple, we have created a single blog site to manage our events. 

Great Kiwi Gravel is now the home of the Le Petit and Kiwi Brevet's. It is also the home of the inaugural Tuatara Brevet.

Check the blog out here as that is where all information will be posted going forward.

This blog will continue to exist and hold all the history that is here, it will just no longer be updated. 

Thanks for coming along for the ride. 

 

 

 

The concept of K-Two

A while ago a post appeared on Instagram that shared the following rules and regulations:

KTWO Notice

In order to complete a KTWO the individual must climb 8611 vertical meters.

The effort must be achieved without a support crew. Food, equipment and water may be stashed by the individual prior to the attempt. Any services available on the route may be accessed.

The same road, trail or route may only be used once in each direction. Repeats are not permitted.

Point to point routes are permitted.

All forms of human powered movement are accepted and a combination of these movements may be used.

To qualify as an official KTWO the meters should be accumulated in what you deem a single push. Multi day attempts are still encouraged. 

Le Petit Brevet follows these rules closely, while omitting the stashing rule. With a few slight course changes, the brevet this year is a qualifying ride. 

Challenge accepted??

2020 it is a date!

Hi there,
2020 has been a full range of challenges so far, and the Le Petit Brevet is back for 2020 to give us something to train for.

November 7th and 8th, 7am Saturday until 7pm Sunday 2020, Hansen's Park Christchurch.

Once again the process will be simple, registration, entry etc simple, the challenge will not be. 2020 sees the course reach new heights with a couple of fresh ideas in the mix.

Also, Scott has hung up his organising boots after a number of years of sorting out the fun for you all. I'm Andy and I am keen to keep creating adventures for you to accept. You may remember me from 2019 and the roll around to Diamond Harbour?

In the mean time I am going to get into scheming, you hopefully are on your bike and if you have any questions - lepetitbrevet@gmail.com

Be careful out there
Andy C
