Many more details to follow, but save the date folks, this event is a really cool one, and much fun will be had by all. I promise.

That sounds like a good & worthy cause, Mom.

Speaking of health, how about a report on your wrist and recent illness... will you be riding to Cape Reinga?

Hello. Health is fantabulous! I can finally say I am feeling back to my old self again. The wrist is doing well, out of plaster, and being weaned out of the soft support I have graduated to. It still gives me gyp at times, but apparently that is normal and it might take a year or so to be fully healed and settled. I can cope with that. So to answer your question. Millie and I will be attending this ride.

We are actually going to do this properly this time, I am bursting to see how much money we can raise.

The name L's Angels was settled on after the first cape trip (Nov 2011) and before the following Taupo trip (Feb 2012) where some who were there got to me Tony Mills (ynot slow) for first time. He was dealing with his third lot of Cancer inside ten years and died a few moths later. Tony did however, get to the Cape with us in 2011.
L's Angels took on a whole new meaning following Tony's death.
We ask for and were given permission to use the KB logo (with added wings) for the L's Angels effort in the Cancer appeal. (Thank you Mr Spank)

These rides get well supported and have a core bunch of about 7-8 riders that have done all the rides so far. On average, I like about 24 bikes which makes for a easy group split of 8-9 bikes per group.
Each group rides as they see fit but it is up to the group leader to set the pace to ensure the smiles stay of the faces of those that follow. To have regular and trusted Leader/Tec combo makes this possible, and a unanimous thumbs up from those who come along makes it all worth the while.

This ride is on or around the same date every year. It would be perfect for you (living in Whangarei) and if you can free up the Friday and make it happen then all good. There is one other female from your town coming on the ride and we met at the Gull Servo by Bunnings about 11:30 on the Friday morning.

We normally do a ride in Feb/March and one at the end of Winter then this this ride. There is still time for you to sort things out and book a bed.

Awesome.. cheers for the info. Will def come along if I can make it - If not I'll be keen for the Feb/March ride! Any idea what time we'd be expecting to return to Whangarei on the Sunday if I could make it?

Midday'ish? We leave Cooper around 9am and stop at Kerikeri for a coffee and fuel, then head to Kaikohe and down Mangakahia Rd (stopping at the bridges) to Maungatapere. (170kms)

This is the only three day ride, the others are a Saturday/Sunday combo.
