The Auckland Rescue Helicopter Charity Ride is on this Sunday 26th Feb 2012

They need us more than ever as their funding has been stopped from another source. Your support is essential.

Where else can you be part of a mass of bikes riding through Auckland.

Tell your mates and lets have a big ride just because we can.

By being in the Ride, not only are we supporting the Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust, but also enjoying the mass ride through Auckland, and reminding other road users that we are on the roads too.

Coffee available at the beginning, and food and drinks at the end.
Beginning at the usual place - Karaka Bloodstock Centre -right beside motorway opposite Papakura
Finishing at the Head Office of Warehouse on Akoranga Drive this year.

That's what they need. I can't speak for them about the posse of women but they definitely need money

Well it was always called the WESTPAC Rescue Helicopter ride. So I though since you didn't mention Westpac that they must be the one that dropped out?

Sorry, I don't know, you would have to ask Mark (Fatt Maxx).
I don't seem to be in the loop on such things anymore.

I like to refer to ARHT as just that - Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust - as the Trust is what we are supporting, and not Westpac.
This year we are raising funds for helmets. They are about $2500 each.

I didn't know anyone last year, but a few people seemed to know me - this was when I met the fat bikers.
I am hard to miss, in a pink and white leather jacket. I am on a Harley, but don't hold that against me.....
