Whangarei Whundraiser II

[Big Dog]

Repeat of earlier event

The winner of track day for the last ride has asked that it be put back up for another ride.

Event location: Auckland - North Shore
We are all aware of recent trails and tribulations impacting Mack The Knife and his family.

For those that wish to participate there will be a rain or shine ride to Whangarei.

Where: BP Dairy Flat (Northern Motorway Autobahn), lots of parking and good coffee.
Day: Sunday 09/09/07
When : Muster 9am, 9:30 Riders Briefs, 10am departure.
Pace: Legal group ride - Team work the focus.
Why: Raise money for the family of Mack The Knifes brother.
How: By envelope.
Who: Everybody - 250cc in particular very welcome given Macks' long
standing generosity in giving his time freely to anyone willing to listen and learn.

Can someone from Wellsford and Whangarei recommend places to park a lot of bikes and or feed and water the riders / meet riders from your area.

Donations can either be by way of spot prizes (let us know what they are on here in advance) or by envelope.

To join the ride bring a sealed envelope with what you can spare in it, no one needs to know how much or how little it is, just what you can spare.
On the envelope write your cellphone number, this will be your ticket number at the drawing.

If you do not know who Mack The Knife is please take the time to read http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=55054 and see just how much this man has given to the motorcycle community.
Many times we do not get to thank these selfless types while they are still alive.


Important notes:
If you want to be involved but have no bike we could use a sweep vehicle.
If you want to be involved but cannot come send your envelope up with another rider.

Positions that need volunteers or nominations.
Lead Bike : Adamww
Tail End Charlie :
Depending on numbers: Escorts that know the way should the group be seperated.

Please be on time we want to leave at 10 on the button. This means you are there fueled up and ready to leave at 10.
