Cold Kiwi hill climb, alongside a small number of good sorts having a crack on their roadregistered machines. Local legends, the Bates sisters, doubled the hillclimb on a Gixxer 250 shod in knobblies- while the crowd cheered them on. And Adam on a Honda CRF300 Rally proved light was right and showed a fallen KTM 1290 Super Adventure how it was done by easily riding up the hill.
WEATHER PICK‘ N MIX After a mixed bag of weather, which eased, allowing enough time to get the iconic hill climb underway, the weather turned hard in the evening as many of us were enjoying the band on the second night. After a thunderous downpour, the rain was replaced by a brief flurry of some cold frozen stuff not seen at a Cold Kiwi for some time. Needless to say, despite the shifting climate, the Cold Kiwi remains COLD. [ Despite some rain and wind, my overwhelming thoughts on the weather were that it was dry and often sunny- Ed ].
