Just after Upper Moutere the race will pass Kahurangi Estate Winery, through another undulating section of the course for an approach to the left turn onto the Old Coach Road section, immediately taking in a climb of 100m to the highest point on the course at 160m. from this point its just 2k to the start/finish line at Woollastons.
