GCR/Bikoi follow up THIS SATURDAY (21 November)

**Hanne** · 17th November 2009, 19:39

Hello Ladies

There has been much talk about a Girly Coffee Ride through popular coffee spots to raise attention about the BIKEOI's aims and show the diverse face of bikers. It is time for the talk to come to something!

I know this is very short notice, but Radio NZ and the Herald have been calling about what's happening, so here's what I have told them:

WHEN: Saturday 21 November. Meeting 10.30am

WHAT: Coffee stops in Parnell, Mt Eden and Ponsonby

WHERE: Carpark behind Auckland Museum

WHY: To show that we have not gone away. To let people know what Tuesday was all about. To maintain support from the grass roots. To show we are a diverse bunch and not all leather clad knife toting scallions!

Numbers are not the aim here, the aim is dialogue with the community.
This first event will be followed up in about a fortnight with local events (North, South, East, West - volunteer for west and east regions anyone?). BUT I did tell them around 20. So would be good to get a decent show.

Contact me on 021 057 0749 for more details/ offers of help

Thanks, and let's get this show on the road!

Morning Report Mention here

Attending:

Hanne (+Ruth)
PrincessBandit

I have my girls, but I still would like too, maybe dear Mrs PB would escort me into town.. .bit of a chicken to fly thru on my own... once I am off the motorway I am fine, stuck at 70km is not very funny anymore.

If the BB of mine is a starter I wil be there, failing that I will have a groupie

Though I may well have one anyway

Meet where???

**Hanne** · 17th November 2009, 21:52

Will be discussing details tomorrow night, Meeting point and exact time TBC.
Thinking 11am, will be central, close to Parnell so maybe carpark behind the Museum. Will update this within 24h, just spread the word and save the date!

**rie** · 17th November 2009, 22:02

I'm working in the weekend but I will spread the word around as soon as I see details up

**Hanne** · 17th November 2009, 22:07

Thanks Rie, I was not expecting the call but thought it best to make the most of it, so I told the guy 20 bikes. Also said numbers are not the goal, rather to show the diverse face of biking. Any help getting the word out would be greatly appreciated!

**trump-lady** · 17th November 2009, 22:22

I have school this weekend but PLEASE keep me updated about any future events. I will be able to have a life in about two weeks. Have a great day.

**Thani-B** · 18th November 2009, 07:56

I'll be there, and hopefully with a chicky pillion as well.

LOL I hope she is running...if the weather is crap tho I won't be there... maybe with my gear in a cage.. cause it would be great to meet people face to face.

Will send PB a text later on, and find out the gist, unless she reads this

**Lucyloo** · 18th November 2009, 12:59

Count me in please.
Do you want me to round up a few non KB gals or would you rather keep it "in the family"?

Love you to bring as many ladies as possible!

Just drop me a PM with numbers on friday...

**Del Fuego** · 18th November 2009, 14:38

... should maybe consider Mission Bay too... just a suggestion

**Hanne** · 18th November 2009, 14:46

Yes, exact route not confirmed. More suggestions welcomed, as mentioned this is just the first ride of several! However Mom has arranged the Park in at mission bay the following day, so that may be better to target later down the track?

**gilly** · 18th November 2009, 18:15

Hi, I'm in.

Have made pretty a flyer for the big breakfast on Sunday at Misson Bay.

(Page 9)

Could be used for our Coffee Run.

If you want or need changes let me know. I can print these off (black & white) . . . just tell me how many. They will be half A4 size.

**Hanne** · 19th November 2009, 09:47

Bump, I will also forward these details on to WIMA.
I know it is very short notice for an event guys, but remember that this just the first of several coffee events!
Be great to see as many of you there as possible.
