The intended Ponderosa ride has been changed to coincide with the 2010 Ride for Rotary.
Our club has been asked to marshal this years ride, in the form of having someone at each of 14 junctions to direct riders. The junction marshals will remain in-situ until collected by tail-end ‘charlie’ (either Dave or Nigel). They will then continue the ride picking up remaining marshals as they go. This will result in a grand entrance into the Ponderosa by the GWNW club riders once everyone else has arrived.
The ride begins at the Clwyd Car Auctions in Ewloe. (link) http://bit.ly/9RtFCv and ends at the Ponderosa Cafe in the Horseshoe Pass. Once the official Ride for Rotary ride ends, we will continue with our intended club route from there, finishing back at our meetings hotel.
Please try and come along for this one folks, it will be very good PR for the club and for Goldwings in general, for all the other riders to see the ride marhalled by us. You will also be supporting very worthy causes in the process. The link to the Ride for Rotary site is here, http://www.rideforrotary.org/index.html it contains all you need to know about the ride itself, which begins at 1200.
NB When you arrive at the start of the ride, please come and find Dave, Nigel or me before riding into the shed. You will not want your bike to get stuck in the start line up if you are going to marshal.
Please could you make your availability known to Dave if you are prepared to act as a marshal for this event, and try to arrive at the start by 1030 latest.

as you know Ian Duxbury, Jim Nightingale and myself will already be in North Wales over that weekend. You can count on at least two wings, cant speak for Jim, no idea about his plans for the Sunday. Speak to you on the Saturday for final instructions. I’m sure there should be some pick up from North West bunch.

It would be helpful if we had Marshals at the Ewloe Car Auction start point at about 10.30am.
