THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUHiPlease pass onto your members .....Thank you so so much for attending the 6th annual WIMA Auckland Branch Pink Ribbon Ride 2009. We had our biggest day yet and it was a huge success with 440+ bikes & and estimated 600-700 participants (we counted the bikes with sheep counters but not the participants !!!).  We are so glad we had found a bigger start venue this year as our previous one would not have coped. A ceremonial cheque presentation of $11,400 was given to Suzanne of the NZ Breast Cancer Foundation at the end of the prize giving on Sunday but once all the accounts are completed it is more than likely that the actual amount will be in excess of that total when a formal cheque presentation takes place at the NZBCF offices next Thursday 22 October. Keep an eye out on the WIMA website ... http://www.wima.org.nz for the final figure.
