BIKEOI - Hawkes Bay

The organisers are now talking about staggered leaving times. This will relieve some of the congestion, and allow slower riders to get a bit of a head start. The further down the line, the bigger the group/s will be.

Right - I've just got off the phone to Craig Foss's PA - it looks hopeful. Keep you posted...

Steve...Norsewood is fine as pickup. You still have to go 'through' the place...

I agree we are not a lynch mob but if he will not agree to meet with us we can still ride past the game but not stop on our way to meet with someone. We all know Chris is a .......

I have cut this quote from here
http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...28&postcount=1 I thought it was worth reading and it is a good Directive IMHO.

When in Wellington.

"There will be heavy media presence, if asked, refer the media person to one of the coordinators, our standard line should be 'see our spokesperson' to anything except "where have you come from?"

Can you leave that? That sort of thing is being organised by StoneY. Best not to have too many fingers in the pie. Anyway, I seriously doubt that there would be a polly who is not aware we are there...
But great to hear you have a contingent lined up to join in!!

I have handed out about 15 poster for the National protest ride to the 4 bike shops in Napier & Bay View, Bay View holiday park & other places & people that have bikes. I will be there & have got one more from Otane.
