The Big Easy — Historical FAQs
Based on the archived page captured 26 January 2021.
The Big Easy no longer runs. Registration is closed and none of the services below are available. Hawke’s Bay Tourism replaced the event in October 2021.
The questions riders asked most often, answered from the archived FAQ.
How did entry work?
Riders registered online ahead of the event. Entry fees were advertised on the event site and varied between editions; we have not repeated them because they no longer apply.
What was in the registration pack?
Packs were collected on the day and included rider information for the route and the finish area.
Could families ride a shorter route?
Yes. The 2021 Family Start left from Farndon Park, Clive, for about 28 km. Note that the FAQ and homepage disagree on its start time.
Were bikes and riders transferred?
The archived pages describe rider and bike transfer arrangements, governed by the event terms. These were event-day services only.
Was the concert included?
The finish-line concert at Church Road Winery was part of the day’s programme. Ticket arrangements are historical.
