From memory badges are $10 cold hard cash.

I'm set to go.

I have packed my toy in a plastic bag inside my pannier bag. My pink Ninja bear shall be cable tied to the sissy bar to supervise as she does with the charity rides.

Who are the keen riders leaving from Auckland bright and early tomorrow morning?

Have fun all. This will be the first year I have missed this event since I got back on a bike. Dammit.

Ride safe.

Managed to tweak my back yesterday, to the point of not being able to get out of bed, so can't join as planned.
Any ideas where I can drop toys off to later in the week?

It was a lot of fun. We got to Cambridge about 10ish - great ride down. About 500 plus bikes, nice smooth ride to Hamilton. Will definitely do this one again!

[Scream]

Had HEAPS of fun, friendly people to talk to around and all, defo gonna keep coming back!
Oh.. and got to see some real sexy bikes.. whilst riding my lonely little FXR :L

It was great fun, perfect weather. Was great to see the kids out and about and the riders waving on!

[hellokitty]

I hope they got lots of toys - there was a lot in the truck at the end.
I bought a badge too, even though OldSteve said to boycott the badges (in the helicopter ride thread)... I thought he was a member of Ulysses whose run this was....

Was a good time nice to see some creative soft toy machines.

I'll be back for next year.

BTW "are we there yet!"

It was cute to see the toys on the bikes for the ride, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Judging by the splatter and gore that I had all over the front of my jacket and visor, I couldn't stand the thought of a teddy bear covered in this shit being given to a sick child in hospital. I kept my toy in a bag in my pannier bag.
