MG Spring Classic

Spring Classic.  A thoroughly enjoyable touring event through the Waikato, it has the interesting challenge of selecting your own route in an effort to find the shortest way to the finish though the excellent network of tarmac secondary roads in the Waikato.  A buffet breakfast to get things under way, and getting together over morning coffee, lunch and a wind-up dinner, all provide a thoroughly enjoyable social dimension which perfectly rounds out the day.  Register for the event, before 1st September, via the online entry form on the club website, at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe9Zgb5qegNQcH23x0l14UJkr1hXhP0a-6bo1n-qKjWo_8AVg/viewformAt last, the end of winter is in sight and spring is just around the corner!
