Memorial Ride To Gladstone 06/05/06

**Madness** · 4th May 2006, 17:42

Recently the first anniversary passed for the death of one of our own. I noticed in the original thread from the time of Flyin's accident that a memorial ride was suggested and supported by several members. I did not know Sam, however heard about the accident at the time and since joining KB have clearly seen the impression the young man made in this Forum.

May I propose a KB ride to Gladstone this Sunday, Departing Caltex Rimutaka at 11.00.

As I say, I did not know Sam and feel a little "out on a limb" here. It could have been me though, or you, doing what we love. Let's honour the memory of a friend to many and fellow KB'er.

A great idea, Max. Saturday doesn't work for me though.

Sunday looks better weatherwise too. I was planning on attending another local ride on Sunday, at the end of the day, as long as I'm riding I'm happy.

Sunday. Come on Welly!!!

Sounds like a nice idea, both of us will hopefully be able to make it Sunday after watching 'Worlds Fastest Indian' on Saturday night on the projector, never know, may pick up some tips on how to ride, lol. Any idea of leaving time?
Kendogs.

Might I suggest a leisurely departure time from Caltex Rimutaka at say 11.00?

Meet up at 10.30 - 10.45

Over the Taka's, out to Martin's Borough (Coffee at the Fish of course) & up the back road to Gladstone.
