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??
