charity ride yesterday. wanganui to shannon

[sunhuntin]

awesome, awesome ride!!! any members of the wanganui triumph owners club here??? thank you heaps for a great day out!! am honored to have been allowed to ride with you. great to know that my money went to a good cause and that we bypassed your estimate, allowing the childrens ward to buy the equipment they needed, with heaps to spare!!

was a great day had by all...pity the weather wasnt better, but close enough. again, thank you for a great day out, and the oppotunity to stretch pups "legs" and give me more experience on the open road [at 120k no less!!]

YEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

I didn't know about this ride until it had ended when a friend from Wanganui who had been on it rang me. I would have ridden up to Shannon to say hi - we only live about 15kms south of there!

thanks crashe and beemer.

beemer, i thought of you. had i heard about it earlier, i woulda put it up on here. as it was we had one guy from nelson, a few from wellington and some from auckland as well. they say theyll do it again next year, for a different charity, so will keep an ear out and post it here.

This new thread answers my question posted this am under 'meetings and events'.
Good on ya guys and gals .... It sure looked like fun.

[sunhuntin]

well....the total was in the paper....over $3500 raised! definatly not bad!! the amount required was $2200, so the excess will likely be spent on toys etc for the sick kids. official count was 82 bikes, with i think only one break down, but cant confirm it.

Yes a good ride!.

We were able to have a bit of fun too on the way and make good use of those long backroad straights to Shannon!.
