The 2007 event is scheduled for April and May with events in both Hawkes Bay and Gisborne.
Note: Date and Time changes for Gisborne
As the East Coast centre is just Ramblers and Gisborne we have come up with an innovative four event format to find our centre champions.
Points will be awarded over the four events (road races and a hill climb in Hawkes Bay, with time trials and criteriums in Gisborne). It isn't necessary to compete in all four events but you must have competed in at least one at each location to qualify. This means that to become a centre champion you will need to travel to Gisborne for at least one of their events plus do at least one here.
Centre champions will receive trophies plus the top three in each grade will win medals.
The following "rules and conditions" apply:
