Join the White Ribbon Motorcycle Ride to raise awareness of men’s violence towards women.
The ride leaves from Tauranga traveling to Wellington via State Highway One. There it will divide and travel from Parliament up the east and west coasts to Auckland and then on to Bream Bay.
If you own a bike and want to ride with other men that believe violence is an issue worth riding for, then join us. Violence destroys families, sets our children on a destructive journey and affects one in three women.
The ride will visit over 40 communities throughout the North Island with a stand-alone ride in Christchurch. At each destination, the ride will be met by communities who are organising a wide range of activities from marches and parades, to breakfasts and competitions.
As a rider, you can make a difference by joining the ride to raise awareness and help men to take action against violence. Riders can participate in the whole ride over the 7 days or simply ride between two towns. The ride will be led by the Super Maori Fullas and the Patriots Defence Force Motorcycle Club. They are responsible for the safety of the ride and speaking to media and representing the riders at the community events
In 2010 the White Ribbin Ride has the following rides:
