Westpac Rescue Helicopter fundraising ride

**Suzi Q** · 4th May 2008, 11:05

I drew the short straw and will be organising this event for CHCH riders. This is a NZ wide event to be held 28 June 2008. The goal of the ride is to raise funds for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter and also to protest Cheese Cutters. please follow this link and check out what it is all about. http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=72686
The CHCH ride will not be as long and involved as the Auckland ride, I was thinking of a run to Kaikoura up the coast road then back through the Inland route - but I am open to suggestions.
So far I have had talks with Sportzone Suzuki who are happy to be involved.

Right the route has been sorted. We will meet at the Peg - belfast pub - at 10am and leave at 10:30am. Then on to Greta Valley tavern for a wee break and then up to Waiau for a drink etc. Back to chch to the garden city helipad at around 3pm to hand over the moneys raised. I have checked and there will be a crew on duty there - this is the base for the Westpac rescue Helicopter. I have attached our poster that we will be posting in the bike shops - thanks heaps to Rashika.
If the weather is crap we will just do the Scargill Loop - meet at the same place, go to Greta Valley and then turn left to go through to waikari, back through the Weka Pass to Christchurch.

Yip happy to help out Suzi, best ya contact the hellie service at chch hellies and let them know. Unfortunitly our in house poster graphic chick is between jobs, so getting some around the shops for advertising may be tricky at this short notice.
Now for smaller bikes just the Leader road to the pub as a meet up place might be beter than the full haul.

You will find that the Rescue Hellicopter organisation will be very supportive of this. We got a real good response from the Westpac up this way. We will send SuziQ a copy of our flyer, which is basically whats on the news page, once you have it in your pc then you can play around with the words that need adjusting, you'll figure it out im sure. ...Mark
