This is an informal ride for those North Islanders that would like to do the Southern 1000km Longest Day Endurance Ride, but can’t afford to pay The Ferryman.

Refreshments & Meals available at P’nJ to enjoy over the trading of lies.
Entry Fee: $15 (Covers Badge &/or Year Bar plus proceeds to Muscular Dystrophy)

As an informal ride, you and your bike are your responsibility to ensure both are capable of completing the course. There is no recovery vehicle organised.
A register of riders will be kept to ensure everyone returns.

It is not a race and should be easily doable at a sedate pace with stops…enjoy the ride.

This should be a pleasant wee pootle this year, especially for any that haven’t experienced the delights of riding the Gentle Annie & Forgotten World Highway…..on the same day!
We have made a change this year to charge a $15 entry fee (non-refundable donation) and make the badge &/or year bars included. This came about after last year and we were left with a lot of year bars after the weather put a lot of riders off, resulting in not much money going to Muscular Dystrophy.
The $15 is required at time of registration please and we have to order the year bars, so these can’t be guaranteed for entries received after 25/10/11. Account details will be supplied on application.
As per previous years, Ride Instructions and a Briefing will be emailed the week before the event.

Wow, what a great Idea. I wish there was a ride like this that was Auckland based...Not sure if I could ride down to Wellington and then still take part in this ride
Any bonuses for who travelled the furthest to attend
Now let's see, where is further: Kalgoorlie or Kabul?....You lose! (This isn't just your Saturday afternoon pootle Eugene, it's a truly international experience!)

Why not? Gremlin did it last year. (Mind you, it was midway through his conditioning programme for the TT2000....which didn't work. I guess we should set a few flyers for him this year)

"The first three cycle touring routes to be opened will be from Taumarunui to New Plymouth (including part of the Forgotten World Highway), from Taumarunui to the Ruapehu-Whanganui Trails...."
