2nd April 2011

Start and Finish at Ashhurst Inn, York Street, Ashhurst - where a breakfast special will be available for $9.

Petrol is available next door at the Old Mobil Garage.

Registration from 8.30 to 10am on the day - Cost $20 (including lunch).

(Note - there are no ATMs in Ashhurst).

100% of the proceeds go to Ronald McDonald House Wellington.

Spot prizes and auction at the end.

With the recent media coverage about the house and its leaky state, let's see if we can better last year's total of $7000 raised.

Not a bad ride, although I must have been with the slow group through the twisties at the beginning...
Those steak burgers were outstanding!!
How much did they raise in the end?

Thanks to all who attended to make such an outstanding event, those who came on the ride and those who came and donated. Special thanks to those who helped in any way with the event this year, Amazing.

Nothing official, but the figure will be around the $9,000.00 mark, simply outstanding, what more can I say.

With only 1 lost chain, therefore a nice ride on the back of a ute for someone, the event ran very smoothly again.

Thanks to all for the sensible riding.

The most satisfying part for Marsha and I is, we have been able to raise around $16,000 to help sick children and their families over the past two years.

So a big thank you to all the people who have been involved and all that you have done to help, especially The Ashhurst Pohangina Lions Club and Nobbet from the Ashhurst Inn who kindly supported us this year.

I will come back to you with the official total later.

Definately a better route with not having to contend with town traffic, pedestrians, traffic lights etc. I notice one marshall, Bunnythorpe I think it was, had backup rides for those that might run into trouble.

Go for it mate, it's my Charity of choice, having used it and all. I could try and convert the Buell.

Good to hear the ride was fun and good ... and all made the ride safely well done.
But unfortunately I couldnt make the ride this year waiting for a new starter motor to come from the US of A for my bike.. (A starter in NZ is $1400 new) and from the USA a new one is costing me around $NZ 210 (including airfreight).

Someone that was there and has a collection of stories and pics might want to do an email to the editor of Longriders magazine, I subscribe to it and have had one article published in this awesome international bikers mag. They are always keen to publish what the biker worldwide community is doing.

You can find them on www.longridersmagazine.com

Good way to help promote the ride for the future.
