Kaiwaka Ride Debrief from TEC Luppo.
Dee and I arrived at NAHD just after 11 am where we met up with Maurice and Rod. A few minutes later RC Kev arrived(one for the sheriff). Shortly after we were joined by a potential new member, Isaac, who is interested in joining our chapter. The weather was good, roads dry but a little chilly as we headed off along SH-1 just after midday, through the tunnel and up to Warkworth, the Dome Valley, which was actually a good cruise through here, into Wellsford and onto Kaiwaka where our RC stopped at the Eutopia cafe, the decision was made to stay here instead of going on to Whangarei. We had coffee and a very scrumptious lunch in the awesome surroundings of the revamped cafe which is quite spectacular with its sculpture walls and crafted artwork that's like everywhere you look, I think this would be a great destination for more HOG and LOH rides. We had passed by here so many times in the past and I recall stopping here years ago but had not been in since the refurbishments which were carried out in 2019. While we were there a few more riders stopped here one of them an ex-chapter member who now lives in Whangarei, good to see you Lance. The weather was absolutely awesome as we saddled up at about 2.30 pm and headed back towards Auckland via SH-16, glad to see Waka Kotahi has repaired some of the rougher surfaces through here. Thanks to RC Kev and moi at TEC, 4 bikes, 1 pillion and 1 trike.
Waiwera Debrief from RC Murray
The Saturday ride started off in beautiful fine weather, just a little bit windy and some annoying slow patches of traffic. With me up front and Gary (Kermit) as TEC we left NAHD and headed off down the Northern motorway which was very wet in places with huge amounts of spray being thrown up by the cars in front of us. At Oteha valley Gary turned off to head for home while the rest of the ride carried on to the Silverdale off-ramp then Whangaparaoa, in still beautiful fine weather, to home. Two on the ride. Me and Gary. Good catch-up. No pic's taken though.

Auckland H.O.G. Chapter Meeting & Bottle Auction 27.06.22
Kiaora Auckland HOG whanau.
Members, new members, family and friends are invited to the Akarana Golf Club for our monthly Chapter night and annual Bottle Auction fundraiser for MDN.
Bar and Menu are available from 6.30 pm. Share a drink or two and a meal with members before the meeting commences at 7.30 pm with the bottle auction to follow soon afterwards.
Special Event: We welcome you all to our annual bottle auction, one of our key fundraising activities for Muscular Dystrophy Northern, which will be held at our June chapter night. For those that are new to the experience, several pointers:
- Bring a wrapped bottle (or two if you want) that will be pooled and auctioned
- Please, NO booby prizes - bottles of water no longer cut the mustard and are no longer hip.
- Our very experienced chief auctioneer will seek to extract your best bids as donations to MDN.
- Please feel free to buy your own bottle back if you so wish.
- We will have EFTPOS there and can also accept telephone banking deposits, just in case you forget to bring any cash.
- If you can not make it or miss out on the auction, please feel free to make a small donation to MDN.
So please, come and show your support for MDN - this is a key event in their calendar too - and Trevor and Joy would love to see you on the night.
Date: 27/06/2022
Time: from 6.30 pm-9.00 pm.
Location: Akarana Golf Club, 1388 Dominion Rd, Mt Roskill. <Click here for Map>
