Slicks and Stones Gravel Assault

04/02/2024

Thank you to those people who have registered for the Slicks and Stones Gravel Assault. Unfortunately, due to low registration numbers, we’ve decided that it’s better to cancel the event now rather than wait. We know many of you will be disappointed (as we are) as we see this as a fantastic event for the region and for gravel cyclists from around the country. Should you have suggestions that will help us continue this event at some future date, please contact us. Thank you for your consideration and for those who have registered, we’ll be arranging a refund of your registration fee.

Our annual Slicks and Stones Gravel Assault race isn't just about the awesome cycling tracks, in the beautiful Manawatū region of New Zealand.

This year we've also got extra special stuff planned. We’ve arranged a spit roast and live entertainment 🎶 following your ride, so you can recover, tell war stories, and have a laugh.

It's worth noting that the Apiti Tavern & Eatery is also conveniently very close for a post-race celebration with mates 🍻
