Westpac Rescue Helicopter Ride (8 March 2009)

People ....WTF. The nationals are on at Puke the same day as the Westpac ride. We have a website here that maybe could help you co-ordinate dates.

So why dont you organisers use it?

Actually to the organisers I am happy to collect funds at Puke if you think it is appropriate

Surely the Westpac ride will be over by about 10:00am or so. Why can't people do both?

Racing starts at 10.30? Can you do Albany to Puke in half an hour?

And the KB turnout was shocking. Not many of us at all.

How do you know who was a KB member? Nobody did a roll call that I know of (or maybe I was asleep in the back of the class at the time...)

There were quite a few, actually. The weather first thing in the morning was definately not the nicest, but it held off.

Who rigs the prize draw at the end? I left empty handed, but others did quite well! (Good on them!)

will be at this then, and maybe chase down to Puke afterwards...

Will be there with a little person in tow!

Loved it the last couple of years... and it's a brilliant way to initiate the littluns to the ways of the motorcycle...!

Last year the thin blue line were blocking off the onramps while the bikes all went past at 130.... telling us to hurry up...! Not so sure road legal is a requirement...
