November's Hamilton & Wellington 1KC rides

Make sure that Saturday 4 November 2017 is in your ride calendars!
 
This November will see two 1,000km Cruise rides on the same day – the 1KCs. One will start and finish in Wellington, the second will start and finish in Hamilton. The routes for each will be different, with briefing, instructions and checkpoint information sent to registered riders one week prior to the event.
 
Rider entries have been received so far for 20 riders planning to start at Hamilton and 10 for the Wellington ride.
 
Pillion riders are allowed on the 1KC. So too are trikes. There is no formal scrutineering of machines. Riders are expected to ensure that their bikes are legally roadworthy.
 
These are social rides, with plenty of opportunities for riders to stop and yack with each other. After-ride hospitality will be available at a pre-arranged venue. There will be commemorative badges and certificates awarded. As well as being a great day out for riders and pillions, these events contribute to a great cause, with proceeds raised donated to Muscular Dystrophy New Zealand.
 
1KC rides start and finish on the same day. Riders usually start from 6:30am until 7:00am. Most are generally home by 8:00pm, with stragglers returning at up to 10:00pm.
 
More details and event registration forms for the Hamilton and Wellington 1KC rides can be found here.
