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. … Continue Reading
