All Auckland Bike shops and Clubs (on our list) have been emailed the flyer and details. All Media (on our list) have been notified also.
A message has also been sent to one of the organisers of the Westpac Helicpoter ride to see if they could announce this event at the conclusion of thier ride tomorrow.
Cant thank Big Dave for his time and effort so far....

Post #2 now has the Ride Rules.
It spells out how I want the ride to go.
We got 360 bikes around the Auckland Motorway and into the Domain in 09' using a similar system.
I will read the main points out on the day.

Hi guys,

I'll be there to support you on the day and I'd like to donate my services as a"tail end charlie".
If anyone has any issues, I'll happily take them to the end of the route at no cost.
From there I can negotiate to take them home if needed. Unfortunately I won't be able to cater for the Can Ams or trikes on this one. Contact me on 0211569448 in regards to the ride.

Cheers Kevin

The lovely Lady's from WIMA will be at both the start and the finish collecting the donations.
They will be wearing thier PINK vests so they'll be easily spotted.
Just give your money to any of the collectors and they will hand it over to the counters, thank you.
And thank you WIMA.

Assemble at the Cock and Bull, Te Rapa, they will be open from 9-30am for Tea, Coffee, cakes and biscuts, toilets etc.
