Sweetness and light!! Thanks Mark. 1030am at Old Stone Butter Factory for pre-ride preening and fashioning of fabulousness - then 11am sharp - tally-ho and off they go!! Splendid!
(Maybe we could ask the Hospice Shop could sponsor a prize - any fashion fabulousness on my part is thanks to them ;-) But the real prize of course is participating in this celebration of cycling!!

Really support you guys but am heavily involved in the Safety audit, deadline is 1 November or I have no business. If that happens could be doing more cycling.! Getting certified is massive and time consuming so sorry wont be that active til its over.

Hey Myles, Ange & I will be doing smoothies on the canopy bridge for the Artisans fair until 2pm. We'll already be at the town basin so we'll take our bikes with us so we can roll straight into your event. See you there to celebrate the longest day!

This is a great idea and opportunity Myles,
Being a Pagan Druid myself it is a great chance for me to celebrate the work of ancsestors who built Stonehenge. What do you think to the idea of a Cyclehenge structure in Whangarei?
Cheers Terry

Cyclehenge - absolutely fabulous - there is a community garden space down from eco solutions that would be great.
Terry Jones Thu 4 Dec 2014 4:24PM
Lets begin building in 2015!

Hi All
Two articles on National radio this morning below.
Have listened to the first one and it is very interesting re the economic spin offs of increasing cycle infrastructure.
Have not yet listened to the second article but should be good.
Shane Jansen Sun 14 Dec 2014 8:26AM
oops here they are. You'll have to copy and paste i think.

Oh so sorry we missed this – we have been away and got back too late to join in / hope it went well.
Cheers Clare
Terry Jones Mon 22 Dec 2014 7:05AM
Thanks Clare, we had a consolidated good time,
Saturday was moody and humid and about 15 minutes before we planned to ride the loop the heavens opened! At least it was still warm and we grouped as a small collective and got some coverage from the North Adv paper down at the riverside basin and then went for a spin.
It was a fitting end for 2014 and of course we have a lot more planned for 2015 to assure people we are a constant assistance to those dedicated to life on 2 wheels!
Cheers
Terry

Shared Meal - Cycle for Revolution Closed Tue 24 Mar 2015 5:04AM
My good friend Richard Barter is in Whangarei for 2 days....he's doing a project for the Cycling Advocates' Network on cycling and trucking - an uneasy mix?! Formerly the chair of the Roskill Community Board Richard has a long history of cycling advocacy. We met at a cycling conference in Takapuna, 2003!
It would be great to see some folk at our place, share some food, dream some dreams and cycle for revolution!!

Sorry couldn't make it Paul. So busy at the moment with my kayaking business. Next month will think cycling. Thanks for the emails - I am right behind the group.

Hi Paul, I can live with your later time proposal for the bridge opening; The growers market is a Whangarei Institution after all and should be worked around when any plans are laid for a Saturday morning. Let's say meet from 10.30am and wheels roll at 11 sharp.
