WIMA Auckland Pink Ribbon ride

[leathel]

Just a heads up to the ladies, This is on this Sunday

http://www.wima.org.nz/pages/Pink_Ribbon.php

It was put of due to lack of support but a few have stepped up to help so the ride is on and all go so it would be great to see plenty of the laddies out on the ride as well :)

[caseye]

Woah Ho, go the fatties. He he I'm one of em. Anyhow, come on you lot come ride for the girls. This event is too important to be allowed to fade away.
My wife and I in company with the FBMC have ridden to support WIMA and their Pink Ribbon Ride for the past few years.
Always been great fun and the opportunity to give em some moral and financial support is Gold.
Climb aboard, kick her in the guts Trev ans ride for Pink Ribbon!

I have posted this in the ladies section.... chucking here as well

Just a heads up to the Pink Ribbon is on this Sunday

http://www.wima.org.nz/pages/Pink_Ribbon.php

It was put off due to lack of support but a few of the Fat Bikers have stepped up to help out so the ride is on and all go, We would prefer to be just part of the ride but if being a marshal keeps this ride going so be it. We had a great turn out for bikers in blue for the "Men's issues" now its time to support the Ladies

so it would be great to see plenty people out there to support the cause

The weather is looking good for Sunday

Coming from the Shore I'm on a blue katana with the brightest yellow helmet known to man.
This ride should be on the site home page for max visibility me think

I will sort a time today.... just need to confirm a few things with others

[KeyserSöze]

Hi. Is the bp on mill rd? If so where? I would come there and meet u guys there as well.

[Blackbird]

Yep, I'll be marshalling along with other IAM members. Great cause to support and great fun too. :yes:

[Theantidote]

Hi. Is the bp on mill rd? If so where? I would come there and meet u guys there as well.

i'd post a link to a map but i'm not quite that good at it yet...i'll give it a crack...it's also known as the autobahn, right at the top of the bombays....if you're coming from the city you'll take the bombay off ramp and turn right at the intersection and you'll see the BP in front of you on the left hand side of the road...you can't miss it unless you're my wife...lol

Theres 3 of us definitely confirmed from Hams - (hopefully more will come) We will be leaving 8.00am so will stop at BP Bombay approx 9.00?? for a break - if you do meet there keep an eye out for us - most recognisable bike would be my GB400 -

cool i think 9am would be the latest to meet...i'll make sure i'm there before 8:45...look for the black viagra and 2 guys (one's about 1/2 sized) sporting pink mohawks atop the helmets...b really cool to meet some awesome fellow cycle enthusiasts...

[KeyserSöze]

I ll be there between 8.30 and 8.45. Black gsxr.

[IkieBikie]

just confirmed it is on mill road...

Mill road BP is in Mount Wellington - thought we were meeting Big petrol station on western side top of the Bombay hills?????

Which means if it is top of bombays and we get away on time be there just before 9.00. Pink Ribbon Ride doesnt start til 10.30 and apart from leathal (whose doing the business) getting there 9.45ish - 10.00ish should be fine. How long does it take from top of bombays to the netball courts and do you know the way - if so cool - if not we will be mapping it!!

Mill Rd Bombay BP.... We normally weet nearer the entry side beside where the fenced area is :)

[leathel]

As long as I get together Saturday for the pre ride I dont need to be super early.... but I would still be a little early, 9:00 gathering at the netball courts but the ride leaves 10:30. There is riffle tickets etc so its good to be a little earlyer than the ride leave time.

I will probably leave 8:30-:45 but I will update that after touching base tomorrow as I might be able to leave a little later if enough is already sorted in which I may be able to lead to the ride for those that dont know where it is.

Metvuw forecast is still OK with Saturday weather clearing overnight allthough if it rains I will take the blaim as I washed my bike..... it often rains first outing after being washed :wacko:

i've tried to post a map link...this is for the bp on mill road at the top of the bombay hills...from there it's probably a good 40 minutes (i think...mr.leathal can you confirm the approx ride time from the hill down to the netball courts???)
i think you may be right...best be early rather than late...so closer to 8:30 would be betterer...

Even if it did take 40 mins from Bombay to courts - why would you want to be at courts at 9.10 am (if you left Bombay at 8.30) when the ride starts at 10.30??? Are you on organising comm like Mr leathal?? If so - As you were

we will stop in anyway so if we see ya see ya

[Murray]

Forecast looks good - Even better starts out good in the Waikato - still trying to generate more interest but as always, see who turns up on the day!!

Hope they get a great turn out

BP Bombays, me, ikiebikie, mz tuilip at least will be there.

[surveyorsteve]

If my cold is not also bad tomorrow I'll be there with bras on. Well one bra if my wife lets me wear it

[KeyserSöze]

Hey, just to confirm, time still is around 8.45 at the BP on Mill Road?

[leathel]

done my ride brief.... I don't need to be there early just at my post before the ride gets there..... So I will leave BP with the rest about 9, I should be there earlier than 9.... still have to sort a few other bikes out, only just got back from town..... next time the daughter wants a singers autograph the answer is NO! (Not one direction) 2 bloody hours killing time while she waited in line :mad:

look out for the black cruiser dressed in pink (well some of it)

[nerrrd]

That was fun, really well-organised, was nice to stick to suburban streets and have a fair few locals come out and wave as we went past, lots of bikes, no need to stop anywhere, well done all round :).

i couldn't agree more mr.nerrrd...i only managed to catch the tail end of 400+bikes...a lot 2 up so maybe 600 people all supporting the cause...
thanks mr.leathal for leading us in from bombay...much appreciated...
and big ups to the fat bikers mc...awesome guys and girls thanks for keeping it all going...and of course everyone else that chipped in with the organising...
son loved it...

[leathel]

Awesome day ...weather was a cracker, all went to plan, so happy the Roads Rats, Fat Bikers and IAM (members of those 3 overlap a fair amount) were able to lend a hand to the ladies and keep this ride alive and what a success it has been, brilliant. I was lucky to be on one of the first spots so didn't miss much of the ride :D

topped the day by heading to Riverhead after it to watch Back Dog play the blues them home Via Friends... cracker of a day!

[Murray]

yep brilliant day - well done to all concerned. excellent organisation.

Rain and wind slowed us down a bit getting to Bombay and we arrived there about 9.07 - must have missed you guys but there were some from Tauranga there heading towards the blue ribbon ride

[Blackbird]

It was indeed a great day - great fun, worthy cause. I was marshalling at the Hobson St/Pitt St corner and the sight and sound of 400 bikes coming up Hobson St was a sight to behold! One or two pics attached from the heap I shot.

Some left just after I arrived that I didn't get to see who they were and ID bikes (I didn't pay attention while I fueled up and paid....and helmets were on just after I left the building), I assumed it was you.... I should have known better than to assume....

A couple of pics taken with the cell..... My wife took a few (several hundred) with the camera so will download and sort those at some stage (Mostly from our marshal point)
