Heading south on the motorway take the Karaka off ramp, turn right at the end and go across the motorway. The entrance is just to your left after you get over the MW. There will be people there to direct you.

Was a great ride today guys
Hope there was a lot of money raised. Sucked that the T Shirts and badges ran out. That was the only down side. Also traffic changing lanes in front of bikes and forcing bikes around.

To the kind gentleman who bought a button on my behalf and gave it to me because I didn't have cash - was going to get cash at a money machine and get one at the other end but they ran out - I just wanted to say Thanks again, and I did make a donation anyway later on in the day.

I went on the ride and didn't get a Teeshirt, same reason. If there is another batch being done, how do I go about getting my name put down and paying for it?

Cheers Richard, hope you're recovering swiftly, they can't keep a good man down aye.
