    Protest Ride

    Yes folks, the time has come to kickstart our protest campaign off once again.
    We did warn Minister Myth we would not go away.


    This is the first of a series of protest rides that are being organised by the Auckland Action Group - make sure you tell 10 friends etc.

    The ride comes from all points of the compass and enters the City from the North/South/East/West

    Assembly Points: Please be there by 10:00am for a 10:30am Departure


    : North : Maha/MadDuck/Mom....Leaving From Oteha Valley Rd Mobil

    : South : Caseye.......Leaving From BP Papakura (Autobahn)

    : East : Fatt Max/Phantasm...Leaving From BP Ti Rakau Drive

    : West : Bodir.....Leaving From Shell Westgate


    : Be at your chosen leaving point by 9am

    : Co-ordinated departure times to arrive at Auckland Domain at 10am, for noise making and speeches

    : Depart the Domain enmass at 12am and ride up Queen St creating maximum noise

      "sorting out cages" is about the most fun (and potentially riskyest) bit about the TEC role - still my magic flags will protect me...
      No chance of getting upset: I knew precisely what you were doing as I was just about to do exactly the same thing myself!

      You guys all did a cracking job.
      Hard case though, I went for a piss at the Museum and when I came out all but about three bikes were left....
      I had some ground to make up, was ment to be at the front with Bodir, but was happy being a slider for the day.

      Maha you realise that you do not have a crowd that waits for you, or even notices that you were gone

      None of us are as young as we used to be - the old prostate ain't what it used to be, eh!

      Maha - At least I was MEANT to be starting at the rear of the group. Mom should have left without you and you could have ridden shotgun for TEC! (Now THERE'S an idea).

      Still fizzing about the weekend....brilliant......

      Now, I am sure I am right here when I say there were no accidents involving any of the participants in the protest, from the 4 compass point rides into town as well as the Parnell / Queen St / Mission Bay run...??

      If that is the case, we covered a lot of K's in wet conditions, busy motorways, bustlling suburbs and Queen Street with the remnants of 50,000 protestors on the street......and all without a police escort, organised road closures or specific diversions. All marshalling done ny AAG riders and traffic / road rules observed.....

      Can anyone confirm this? Fecking good statistic I reckon..........

      I have received no negative feedback, so I am going to say yes incident free, in some trying conditions...
