Martinborough Charity Funride

The event was held on 30th October this year and just under 500 riders enjoyed a wonderful sunny day. Although numbers were slightly down on last year we fared well compared to other local rides. The good conditions attracted a lot of riders on the day.
We would like to thank the following local sponsors Te Kairanga, Toast Martinborough, Tirohana, Trilogy , Scotty’s Meats and Breadcraft.
Once again the Martinborough Volunteer Fire Brigade did a fantastic job in cooking the BBQ food, and on-course marshalling co-ordination.
The Martinborough Lionesses made a very valuable contribution to the rest of the food provided. They put a lot of effort into the preparation and presentation of the food on the day. Their work is always appreciated. Comments from riders say that this meal is “the best” they receive on rides.
We could not function without the competent assistance of the South Wairarapa Order of St John. They provide the essential backup needed at events of this type.
We thank these organizations very much for their help.
Lastly we would like to thank the happy team of volunteers who help on the day, with registration and collection of transponders at the finish line.
The Ride raised $10,000 for the Fire Brigade and the Order of St John.
