The Capital 1000K Cruise

Saturday 08 November

Flyer here: http://www.ulysses.org.nz/wellington/images/1000km.pdf

Departs: 0700 am, Caltex Rimutaka, Upper Hutt.
Meet before for briefing etc.

We had such a great time last year, we are doing it again so come and join us.

Route is 1,038kms via:
Rimutakas – Masterton – Mauriceville – Eketahuna – Track - Ashhurst (165K)
Pohangina Valley - Mangaweka - Taihape - Waiouru (162K)
Fields Track – Raetahi – National Pk – Tokaanu - Taumarunui (217K)
Whangamomona – Stratford (151K)
Ohangai – Patea - Waverley – Wanganui – Turakina – Marton (159K)
Halcombe - Longburn - Otaki - Paraparaumu - Paekak' - Hawards - Lower Hutt
and carry on to Petone Workingmans Club (at this stage) (184Km) to trade tales.

As an informal ride, you and your bike are your responsibility to ensure both are capable of completing the course. There is no recovery vehicle organised.
A register of riders will be kept to ensure everyone returns.
There are Spot Prizes and Certificates
It is not a race and should be easily doable at a sedate pace with stops…enjoy the ride.

The ride will go ahead rain, hail or shine….probably.

Register for the ride: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/ca...&day=2008-11-8

They'll have a polling booth at Tokaanu. We can stop for a vote and soak before attacking the lovely SH's 41 & 43.

You can't vote outside your electorate unless you arrange a special vote ahead of time.

I special voted at three elections without arranging it ahead ... so I am sure you can for this one ... might have to re-check the rules.

Soooo .... nasty thinks that a support vehicle may be a good idea ... since she can't ride for that long .... sooooo a trip to see mum is wangas might be a great plan!! with my wee truck and trailor!!

ok ... so you made me look ... and well .. if you are in the country it is no effort ... just rock up to ANY polling station and special vote.

You can also arrange to vote early ... and that is probably what you should do Ocean ...

Good research skills ... we are now well on the way!!
