IBA-SPRING-EQUINOX

We're getting SaddleSore for a great cause!

This Blue September we are planning to do a group SaddleSore ride (https://www.ironbutt.com/themerides/ssmorekm/index.html) in various places around New Zealand, all on Sept 23rd (the Spring Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere).

We are long distance motorcycle riders, who will each ride 1600km within a 24 hour period on the Spring Equinox, raising funds for Blue September.

Riders include:

* Julian Boyd and Mike Green

* Chris and Stella Wiltshire

* Luke Mitchell

* Johan Meyer and

* Stu Leslie

- all current Iron Butt Association Members / Riders.

We are doing our bit to raise vital funds for Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ who support kiwi men and their families living with prostate cancer. Please support our 'Blue Do' by making a donation to our page. Thanks in advance for your generosity!

"Make good decisions..."

Thursday 21st Sep
I'm always encouraging our riders to 'make good decisions'; there is enough inherent risk in these types of rides without being silly about the weather... We're looking at our Northland ride, and what is forecast for this Saturday - we'll make a call tomorrow whether we're heading out for it or whether we'll postpone our ride to the coming weekend. This would potentially affect 4 of the riders in the northern region, but the weather elsewhere is also looking a little iffy... It's up to each of the riders (or groups of), to make their own calls here; we're all adults and capable of making decisions for ourselves. Thankfully in NZ, we're not yet at the point of a nanny-state to the degree that we can't do this, yet... So - watch this space.

Johan Meyer is joining us...
