I don't think that parking on the grass is very good ... we need to avoid any damage to everything ... squares huge and this isn't a parking demonstration ... but a demonstration of how we support local businesses.

I'll be the one riding like a pussy lol. I so do not do group rides, so am asking in advance to ride as Tarlie and Charlie

another rider who loves the hill as much as much as I do ...

You can take the role if you like .. right behind me

There`s actually a bit about the ride in todays Wairarapa Times Age.

"Bikers set to stage ACC protest in Wairarapa"
"Small firms will lose out from the hikes, riders warn"

Points out the reason behind the ride, Welly riders meeting up with the Wairarapa riders, and a bit about the organiser Kari Lloyd.
Right on!

We have two ride leaders .. one will go that way .. the other will take western lakes ... gives people an option without too much time difference (I think).

Not a very good community spirit going on there. Possible ploy trying to screw another business over.

I am sure this is not the case. we are a small village and no one would try and do the dirty over anyone else. sure it was just simple miscommunication.

Hotel gets plenty of riders there after Toppys does their early close at 3pm
