After a sensational first year, the Paterson Kona 24 is back bigger and better for 2012. We've nailed down the dates to May 19 & 20. Open to teams and solo competitors, the event will be capped to 500 riders to ensure the same friendly vibe and low key atmosphere that made the 2011 race such a stand out.

New categories added
Submitted by pi11wizard on Mon, 09/04/2012 - 21:01A junior 6+6 team of 4 option has just been added which will use a slightly shorter course than for everyone else. It is available for riders from 12-16 years of age and can be accessed via the MTBA register now portal
There is now a 6+6 pairs category as well. Since we already have 14 categories before you add in the 6+6 pairs, it won't be split on gender lines. It will be an 'all comers' class so it's a chance for the girls to really embarrass the racer boys!
39 days until race start!
A glitch in the system
Submitted by pi11wizard on Thu, 29/03/2012 - 18:33I've had a number of questions about the registrations system of late and it seems there is a bug in the system involving day licenses. 'Register now' are looking into it however there is a workaround which will also solve the problem.
If you are trying to register a team which has some members with MTBA licenses and some that require day licenses, make sure you fill out the registration information for the day license holders FIRST and then add the MTBA licensed riders.
You're right; it shouldn't make a difference, but until the glitch is fixed it's the best we have.

The big question on everyone's lips is will Craig ride the 24 solo this year after turning himself inside out on the 6+6 last year, or will the lure of the bonfire at transition prove too much.
