- **Event Name**: Mid Summers Winter Ride - Godley Head
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 17 Jan, 2026 at 11:00 pm
- **Event Description**: This is a bit of a Plan-B ride, as our original route plan will still be a bit soggy after the prior days of rain.

The Rapaki-Godley-Rapaki route has always been a great Winter go-to for us, for a shorter 'Just get out there and ride' type activity, and seeing it feels like Winter already, why not?

It's only 42km, and has 960vm of gradual climbing, and whilst there isn't much gravel (only Rapaki really), the views sure make up for it.

Plan is to meet near the toilet block in Hansens Park, and start riding at 9am. 

Whilst we will be riding at a social pace, for those who want slightly less, there is an 'out' option to just drop down Evans Pass on the way back, and follow the Bike paths back to Hansens Park. This significantly reduces the climb, but not the distance.

Two things to note... Probably best not to leave your car in that actual carpark, most riders I know, park on the busier streets around that area. 
The other, is that a few other cycling groups meet in that location, so choose wisely, otherwise you may end up with a completely flat ride, or conversely, an insane adventure dropping down black trails on your gravel bike/hardtail in Vic Park !!

With some sections on the summit road, whilst having generally light traffic, rear lights are still highly recommended.

Please do come prepared to be self-sufficient with your own tools/spare-tubes etc, but I'm sure there will be plenty of folk happy to assist if the need arises.
