I have distance mapped out and the times I want to be in each city, the 'average' speed is 80kph.
QUOTE]

to average 80 mean we will have to travel quite a bit faster than 80 kph past WRB's perhaps we need to allow a bit more time between stop points so as not shorten each stop over where the message will be put out to any press that may show up.

And to add a bit of incentive,

UK 26 March 2008 WRBs kill rider

**chanceyy** · 30th April 2008, 20:57

hey guys just been talking to maha .. I am looking at putting something together for the manawatu region ..

look out for a thread by the weekend .. I would appreciate any ideas .. The initial idea would be to converge on Palmerston North from all areas around late morning venue to be sorted but have something in mind.. head out for a hour or two long ride (as those in the palmy area would not have ridden anywhere) converge back again gather signatures for the cheesecutter campaign (for those who have not signed previously .. cost $10 per rider ..

so we do not clog up this thread can you pm me your idea's & once I have the thread up & running we can discuss it in there ..

cheers

Excellent Pana and Bike Force(Rotorua)!
Like you we'll be awaiting the Crew to turn up but here in Tauranga before they make the ride down to you guys.
Proud to be able to help out in anyway with such a great cause.

BTW Maha's...the sooner I recieve the flyers the sooner I can create a donation box at work so I can collect some pre-donations from the punters.
Will also take a ride over to Okororie(The Office) when able,and drop off a collection box there too.

Auckland/Tauranga.... time allowed 2 hours
Tauranga/Rotorua.... time allowed 1 hour[QUOTE]

I'd allow 2.5hours between Auckland and Tauranga,Mark. I know of a certain gent that takes that long to do that trip.

Bang on re Tauranga to Rotorua though.

This is Primarily a Westpac Rescue Helicopter Fundraiser.
And an opportunity to raise WRB awareness at the same time.
The Cheesecutter part of it is important.
There will be no time for us to stand around and push the WRB message verbally on the day.
This ride covers just over 500km and has been timed to ensure we complete each leg on or about the posted times.

Auckland/Tauranga.... time allowed 2 hours
Tauranga/Rotorua.... time allowed 1 hour
Rotorua/Hamilton.... time allowed 1.5 hours
Hamilton/Auckland... time allowed 1.5 hours

Half hour stop at each Bike Shop...8.5 hours from Auckland to Auckland.
We live 1 hour north of Auckland and that time is not accounted for.
We are relying on others to support this and help where/how they can.

Mark.

We will be leaving from Botany...not really Auckland City as such.
Maybe a tad longer than 2 hours but hey, we will get there.
