Press Release:
Mr Motorcycles Charity Trail Ride Series 2008/2009
Mr Motorcycles Ltd is proud to announce its annual trail ride series again for this season. The popular trail ride series is back after record numbers attended, with over 3000 riders attending the 6 events.
This is the 18th year of the series which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for small rural schools and communities in the Franklin and North Waikato regions.
Mr Motorcycle Directors Craig Brown and Scott Wilkins have been overwhelmed with the share numbers of riders that attend the series in the last few years. A huge amount of work and effort go into running these events, and as always our main goal is the safety of the riders and making sure all the tracks are well marked.
We could not run such a successful series without the continued support of the land owners and the community pulling together to make a great day out riding for all involved. It is also great to see the money we have raised put to good use on local schools and community halls in the Franklin and North Waikato area. It is a great way to give our company profile a lift while helping out smaller communities that often get over looked.
This year’s events will run with the similar format as last few years with 5 rides being open loop rides, with loops of approx 30-40km of rolling farmland and plantation forestry, these rides also have a separate kids loop for kids on mini bikes. The Waikaretu beach run with its unique sea views, sand dunes and remote beach sections return with a 80km single loop, with a fuel/lunch stop in the middle of the ride. One of the only changes this year is due to the numbers of riders attending, we will no longer be holding a mass riders briefing, instead a written riders briefing will be handed out at sign on with a larger version being made for the start of the trail.
This year’s dates are
Sunday 30th November 2008
