[strayjuliet]

just a quick question how many kb members do the cambridge to hamilton Ulysses toy run??? :ride: :scooter: wolf and myself used to when wolf's bike was in working order hence the pic on wolfs profile just wondering thats all

[Yarg]

Have it a couple times , mainly with the :niceone: Ulysses group.

[Grumpy]

Made it the last 7 years. Anything that supports such an important cause deserves our support.

[ching_ching]

1st time last year.

Can already feel the initial throes of "cough" the flu "cough" coming over me now. For some apparent reason it seems to come to a head on the exact same day that the Hamilton - Cambridge run is on and also when I'm usually rostered to work. Coincidence? I think SO!! Will definitely be laid up with the flu come next Sunday. <_< :whistle:

[FROSTY]

Would never miss a toy run. Baby bikie has done every one of em ever since he was born.

[Blackbird]

Have missed the last 2 years, but hope to be back this year :niceone:

[Madguitarist!]

Guys, call be a newbie, stupid or just plain blur, but what is the toy run? Can anyone join?? :confused:

That's the idea. The more the merrier. Close to 1000 bikes I think.

Bring a small toy,buy a badge or make a donation. Run Proceeds go to kids with cancer.Ride leaves from Cambridge and heads in convoy to Hamilton.

[Madguitarist!]

When is it? Who is the organiser....basically....where do I sign up??? :2thumbsup

[Grumpy]

I think it's on the 12th. check out the coming events in any local mag.

Just head down to Cambridge and look for all the bikes. Sorry, can't remember the time off hand but it'll be around 11am I'd guess.

[The Pastor]

I want to get into it this year, What is the pace of the race as I might or might not have a very slow bike by then....

The speed limit for the toy run is 80kph and it dont matter if you have a fast bike or a slow bike, just get on the bike grab a toy and have fun. :niceone:

When? the 13 march. It's run by the Hamilton Ulysees club. You dont need to sign up you just need to turn up lol. They meet in Cambridge around about 10:30am on the 13th and roll out from there. :niceone:

[Holy Roller]

Did it last year and hopeing to do it again this year.

[Big Dave]

I'll go - it'll be a Kiwi Rider gig. I'll have my 'media shirt' on again.
(You guys have now idea how pretentious I sound when I say 'media shirt' out loud)
Usually too busy snapping pics and running about for a long conversation - but I do try and say g'day to all in KB colours.
I know the roller and rib and crash and a few more by sight now.

[Warr]

Havent been before but keen this year as is MrsW riding pillion :niceone:
Must get SpankMe to post me a couple of stickers so I'm not completly lost in the crowd!

I'll be there for the first time in 3 years, with Liz and Roger.

I've done it two up on an Suzuki A100 before, there's so many bikes a lot of it is done at around 50km/h or less. Turn up around 9-10 so you can check out the other bikes. If you head into the middle of Cambridge you really won't be able to miss it.

[Wolf]

Ah, G'day Eddie. Shoulda guessed you'd be on here. Kinda surprised Liz and Roger aren't (unless they are and I just haven't sussed them out from their posts, bikes, handles etc, yet.)

[Madguitarist!]

Hey guys, can someone organise a 'meet up' area so that newbies like me can get to meet more KBers?? Would be way COOOOL!!! :2thumbsup

Pleeeeeeese? :spudwave:

Sounds like a plan, maybe we can meet either before we start or afterwards.

Can someone tell me where Cambridge is? I'm still a newbie to the country and not too sure where everything is. I know Hamilton is south of Auckland, but that's about it.

[Wolf]

Are there a couple of KBers that have room on the back of their bikes for a couple of pillions?

Strayjuliet and I would love to go but have no ride. We can chip in for gas and supply our own toys, food etc.

Would hate to miss it again this year and can't afford to hire a bike for the day.

[Wolf]

If you head into the middle of Cambridge you really won't be able to miss it.
Unless you're deaf, blind and totally oblivious to the fact you've just hit a large group of 'bikes - in which case, you'd be a cager.

I'm on the shore too, maybe we could hook up and make the ride tog??
I know where Cambridge is, just don't know the other KBers.... :confused:

Maybe we could meet at the BP around 10am ready to depart for the start only 100 meters down the road at 10.30am gives one half an hour to perv at the bikes.

Cool idea dude! Shall we all meet up there? ...er is this the BP at Cambridge? :confused:

[Holy Roller]

There's a BP at most towns though if one meets at any other than the one in Cambridge I guess they will be doing some other ride. The BP is on the left coming from Hamilton then all of us can get togetherhttp://www.smileymania.at/Engel-Teufel/smileymania.at_15344.gif

[Madguitarist!]

OK, so that's the BP at cambridge at 10am! SWEEET! :2thumbsup

I am keen to potter along as it was a great turnout last year albeit a very long day. If you North Shore guys keen maybe we could hook up at Holeshot (where Cycletreads used to be) and head down together. Will just have to check how long it will take to get there to sort out a time to meet.

You keen?

[Madguitarist!]

Count me in! :yeah:

[MadDuck]

Cool.

Any KBers out there can give us an idea how long it will take to meet up, potter down and hook up with HR for 10am?

[MikeL]

Hm... It was on the way to Cambridge for the toy run last year that I had my close encounter with a SH22 ditch. Ended up giving my toy to the ambulance driver...
But I'll definitely make it this year. Anyone want to come with me down 22??

[MadDuck]

Yeah I remember that one MikeL. I be keen to do 22 on the way down but just need a time to meet you at (say) Papukura to make it viable for meeting HR. Given that I ride like a nana
