This course was developed for a September 2011 fundraiser to be a hard offroad time trial hill climb in central Auckland. MECers can give the course a run and then record their times by commenting on this page. The course is shown in the figure beneath, but a first timer should get someone to take them through the course first to get the subtle features right.

On Tues Feb 14 2012, despite humid temps and ultra-trained legs, 3 new PBs were set by Ron, Rich and myself.
On Wed March 7 2012, the Robinson Bros and I did the course just after a 1Mile TT. No scorching times that day.
Early Autumn (Tues 2nd April 2013) blast over the course with Ron, Thom and Ryan. 3 PBs. Not me tho.
Mid Winter hit up the Hill Climb in the near dark and with heavy NW rains. Me, Thom S, Sven and Will T. 3 PBs, I was 5:30.
Easter 2014 run up the TT course. Myles set new PB of 6:20 and I took a whole second off mine, getting 5:07. Feels like there is room to shave a few seconds, but sub-5 would be very stout.
Tonight: Sean scored a 5:18, Brent a 5:30, me a 5:20.
