Cheers Bill I will definately require help .. we will catch up at the cold duck & will outline some of my idea's .. Hopefully we will have riders from our way, wanganui across, Pahiatua & maybe the napier crew .. so if we can cover a large area & get a heap of riders out fantastic ..

I am thinking three or 4 loops that can be considered but it will be weather dependant as well, however some of the more experienced ppl in the area may come up with a good route

Who gets the $10 and what does it fund?

all money collected will go to the square trust helicopter

[cowboyz]

is this the same one that the coast to coast raises money for?

[chanceyy]

yes I would assume so .. this is to coincide with the others around the country & to also raise awareness for the cheesecutter campaign at the same time

[cowboyz]

i have put it in my diary. who is making the route?

[chanceyy]

who is making the route?

that is something I am hoping to discuss with some of the crew .. esp those who are experienced at plotting maps .. (hint hint)

I have 4 routes in mind but I guess they will be weather dependant & given the short days would need to be 3 hours max to allow those from other areas get home at a reasonable hour

Here's one to get ya blood bubbling to start with !
Cold duck is very comercial and there will be more riders than a bull can shit !
Set a date prior to next week and get some flyers printed, (for a poker run perhaps ! On the date You rush to decide before next weekend lol) and i'll sort sponsoring of the prize for the run ! (ok i know fuck all ppl, but will put one on the line here ! We dont have to advertise the prize on such a flyer do we ? Mmmm would be a puller though Set of tyres or sim. would be good but for a cause like this it wont have to be a biggy (i'll get him/her pissed and take his/her bike for a ride ! Hell a few ideas here would be good)
Wont be hard to swing the waipawa guys into letting us hand out at their rally ! Know of a few ppl who would help secretary on a poker run if there aint no-one on KB to put hands up (cant see it being a problem though)

Please add ideas here !!!

[chanceyy]

hmm Never done a poker run .. Might have to call in for coffee & discuss it ... you can outline how it works

Along with the Auckland ride organising this for Palmerston North & the Square Trust Helicopter Rescue 28 June 2008 - and awareness for the Cheesecutter Campaign

still a few details to be organised which I hope to get sorted in the next few days, However general plan

riders from all areas converge on Palmerston North (venue to be confirmed) 10.30 onwards

11.30 a ride out for several hours back to Palmerston North to second venue (to be confirmed)

This is the local offshoot of the Auckland one

It will be $10 to ride and I am hoping that we can draw enough attention to this ride .. I will have posters organised once i have details sorted .. I need riders from other areas getting the word out & put posters in shops etc ..

If anyone else has ideas or can lend a hand plz pm me ..

Hope we can get a great turn out .. & hopefully I can rope a few of the Ashhurst/Manawatu guys to assist with the ride out ...

Good stuff Chanceyy...
Im picking the lower North Island bikers will be there in force to support this awesome event. Hawkes Bay pootlers should be able to join ya as well.
Christchurch are underway with Dangerous and SuziQ leading the way....
Taupo bikers can get to Hamilton easy enough...or Rotorua for that matter.

[sinfull]

But coffee all good anyway Sandra
Show ya with a simple hand of strip poker !
Will outline all the rules as we go along !
