Cancer support ride, Urenui to Te Kuiti, calling Naki riders!

**martybabe** · 14th February 2012, 18:59

Important Update.

Due to extreme weather forcast for the North Island on Saturday, the ride has been reluctantly postponed until Sunday March 4th. Times and venues remain the same.

On march 3rd 2012 there will be a ride from Wellington to Auckland in honour of ynotslow (Tony) a long time KB member and a thoroughly good bastard.

Unfortunately Tony has terminal cancer so this tribute to him will meet up (eventually) with the guys and girls in Auckland doing the relay walk in aid of all cancer sufferers.

This is an open invite to any Naki riders to join with us from Urenui and progress as far North as you wish to go but, Te Kuiti is where we will meet up with other riders from the south and east.

Nothing is required of you other than your company but as this is a ride in tribute to Tony, in remembrance of loved ones lost and in support of those suffering with this evil disease, I

would respectfully request that we ride it in a manner befitting the occasion.

Come and stick two fingers up to cancer and bag a great ride while your at it, hope to see some of you there!

Meeting point: car park in Urenui opposite the pub

Date: 3rd March

Time: 1.30 pm ish.

Destination: anywhere North of Urenui, your call .

We need you, what else ya gonna do? mow the lawns? come on down and smack Cancer around a bit.

This is all about you Tony...you are the aspirant.
Your situation it pretty dire, no getting around that.
Eveyone who takes part in the relay for life (where ever they are) are do so because of Cancer has effected them in some way.
The bigger picture? yes its about others but this part (the ride) is yours only my friend...

Heres a great photo of you and Janet from Taupo...

Yup, meet you there 3- 4pm all being well, can't be more precise as we're just a link in the chain but at least we have a rough time now. If we're there earlier all the better.

Good point by the way, there ain't much in the way of fuel stops between Urenui and Te Kuiti so check your fuel before or at Urenui guys.

4-5 might be more accurate. Baton won't leave Taupo before 3ish.
