Team Hughes Joinery Ride, Sunday 14th June–Memorial Park

Team Hughes Joinery Ride, Sunday 14th June–Memorial Park

Team Hughes Joinery Ride, Sunday 14th June–Memorial Park

Join the Hughes Joinery team for a training ride leading up to Taupo 2020.

What: Sunday Ride with Team Hughes Joinery and the Sunday Rides Group   
When: Sunday 14th June 2020
Where: Starting at Memorial Park – Sunday ride routes will be published in the weekly newsletter   
Time: 8.00

With Taupo 2020 entries opening up soon, I thought I better get last years winners all done quickly.
So SIX free entries will be drawn before we head off for our ride.
It would be great to have as many riders as possible in your Team Hughes Joinery kit for a couple of quick snaps.
Apologies to the Feilding riders, with late notification ex Covid-19, you all will have to cycle over.
All of the approximately 80 eligible riders will be in the draw with about $1000 of FREE entries.
Look out 2020, a lower key local fundraiser via Team Hughes Joinery is coming up

High Viz reflective clothing, and light recommended please.

Thanks Colin Anderson
