[chanceyy]

Balzy & i will be present at this ride for sure.....anythng RMH is a worth while cause.....If someone can get flyers to me then i can get them round porirua and wellington if ya want.......

Now those who know me know i'm alittle on the picky side when it comes to food.....May i be so rude to ask whats for lunch? I might have to bring my own

Chanceyy may be able to help you with that and she may be able to tell you where she's been, can you PM her??

yeah red I have some flyers here for you .. so will pop down one evening this week .. have some to drop off to Sue as well .. or will set you up next weekend with some to bring home, if the weather is crap all week

I just did the Chateau to Plateau ride yesterday, organised by the Stratford & Toko Lions, and they sold T Shirts, Polo shirts, and ride pins.

Are you going to do the same for this ride?

[Flynn]

We were going to but were advised not to on the first year?????

Thoughts???

[red mermaid]

I got both pin and Polo shirt.

You have probably left it late for the T shirts and Polo's because you would have to take a chance on how many to order.
Order just a few and sell out quickly, or order too many and be left holding them at the end and no way to sell them?
Tie that in with what number is just enough, or what number is too many.

Do the T Shirts and Polos next year when you can get people to pre-order and pre-pay for them.

I would say the pins would be a better bet, less expense and therefore less risk/exposure in costs for you.

Great thing having other people help you organise things, they remind you of what others are doing for you!!!!!

Allflex are making eartags for keepsakes!!!

Thanks Allflex and especially Bobbie (MRS COWBOYZ) top stuff.

Well done Bobbie!!!!

[Flynn]

Thanks Dogs, your help is appreciated, just think of the kids you've helped

I can't find any details on the ride other than the PN square and Apiti. Can someone provide some info on the route or is it just a ride up to Apiti and back. I am not being picky - correction yes I am - I have many options for rides and there needs to be a good ride on offer to to buzz up SH1 or SH2 for.

Gidday, The ride is around the Apiti loop, so the Square to Ashhurst, up Pohangina Valley to the top of Apiti, back down through Kimbolton, Cheltenham, Feilding , Awahuri, to the Square, BBQ lunch included and auction of misc items there after.......Hope I've convinced you to come, it is an awesome, scenic fully sealed route, not to mention the cause.

Actually guys, that's a vey good point. I think the details should be in the OP and a map of the route included. Afterall, it's a magic run this one.

Wow what luck I was planning on doing this ride before daylight savings ends ( never ridden the loop before) but know its awesome, and now I see it posted here with the opportunity to support a more than worthy cause (bonus).
Will definitely be there.

.... also was talking about this event to a couple of kapiti riders last sunday as we stopped for a cold one in Kimbolton. None had heard of it but all were keen so hopefully through continued pestering wil bring them along too

Route Map - I think it's pretty right...

I must agree - good cause or not it is the event and ride that will attract riders. I can confirm this is a nice loop with good corners and views which at a slower pace we will be able to appreciate.
