Turnout to MTA ride to work day Wellington

**BIG DOUG** · 13th February 2010, 08:19

Yea F**k me I find out the night before not good enough I saw no averts for this anywhere .

**hmmmnz** · 14th February 2010, 19:18

i heard one ad on the rock and that was it,
but the fact it was at 8am. well i had already been at work for an hour by that stage,
may be mta people start work at 9 but people who live in real life start work at 8 or 7,

i would perhaps have gone if it had been at 7 and just turned up to work late,

Hell, no I work in an office job for the Govt. I choose to work my hours of 6.30 - 3.30 as to avoid traffic and have time to ride after work while those other people are still working!

I went along for a look.
The free breakfast was nice but I was a bit disappointed at the low turnout.
The weather was fine in the city, only started getting rained on on the way into the Hutt

Excellent turnout for Oamaru's first event. I saw it advertised in the local free paper and intended to go (even though Oamaru is over an hour away and I had to ask my boss for time off), but then my dog had a vet emergency and there was no biking at all that day for me. Good on ya, 98tls! Pity about Jacqui Dean, the silly moo. Did you get a prize?

I did'nt know about it.... bit of a bummer eh. Would have been cool. Work starts at 7.30 for me too but would have pulled it off somehow.
Going for a walk tommorow though down to parliment for sure!
