    This concerns everyone

    WOW!!! 18 sign-ups!! This event is sure to be a resounding success.
    Can anyone hear the sarcasm dripping off my keyboard??
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    We had a similar sign up rate for the Wellington one mate - seriously, "she'll be right."
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    If the ride was on a weekend, I'd be there. Riding on a working Tuesday makes it pretty difficult for us mere mortals living a few hundred kilometres away to attend.

    Already noted.
    I wonder why gubbinment organises "meetings" when they do...

    Oh the fingers are crossed, no doubt. No-one wants a damp squib.

    Well, um, I don't attend midweek trackdays, either.

    Oh, of course, you're going to ride to the gubmint function, sorry, I forgot about that. Good point, the relevant exposure will be worth the hassle of doing the ride on a Tuesday.

    Best of luck!

    It seems that there may be 'quite a few' in this position. I'm not trying to upset anyone here...but if getting sarky prompts some more to attend out of embarassment...well....
    The cause is sound, my friends.

    We all get an extra weeks leave thanks to the gubmint, more riding time without taking from the family or other activities.

    I didn't get anything extra. I worked hard to earn 4 weeks leave per year then they give everyone an extra week, but those already on 4 didn't get 5 ...

    I would love to attend but can't take the time off

    I leave for Aus tomorrow, otherwise I would have made the trek over. Bugger, it'll be not good if there are less than stellar numbers to make a point.

    Depends how ones contract was worded, ours stated that we get an extra weeks leave for shift allowance making it four weeks. As the statement of an extra weeks leave entitled us to get the 5th weeks leave added. Those contracts that were written stating four weeks leave entitlement dip out.
    Not fair as it should be across the board same for everyone, but thats law for ya.

    Shit, I've just looked at this and found out it was today. I really hope it went well, and I'm sorry I couldn't be there. I think that what you are trying to do is absolutely great. Also, I know very well how frustrating it is when people stand around telling you what a great thing it is you're trying to do, but give you all manner of reasons (however valid) or excuses (however pathetic) for making their active choice NOT to be part of it with you. It says more about them than it does about you, so I hope you won't let it wind you up. Lets all just hope like f**k than nobody who had a chance to go on this thing and found a reason not to ends up lying in the road somewhere with a limb sliced off, wishing things were different. I'd have been there, if I'd had my shit together.

    Almost all of us who are having to 'make our excuses' have already attended either the Auckland or the Wellington protest ride.

    Hope things went well today. Like jrandom said, many attended the other rides (Auckland for me).

    I am presently sitting in my bloody hot office doing too much paperwork. I know where I'd rather be....
