Motorcyclists in the Wanaka area have been checking their
bikes this week in preparation for a ride to support St John
Ambulance Services.
Wanaka motorcycle enthusiasts Rod Bowler and Mark Dick have
combined to organise the first Four Lakes Rally, which will
take riders around four of Central Otago's lakes.
The pair have also secured the support of Honda, which will
bring 10 of its latest motorcycle models to Wanaka to
participate in the charity rally.
Mr Bowler said rally participants would travel to lakes
Hawea, Dunstan, Hayes, and Wanaka.
Participants would stop at five locations and collect playing
cards in accordance with standard "poker motorbike rallies".
The rider with the best poker hand at the last rally stop
would win a prize.
The pair had already received many expressions of interest
and hoped a large convoy of motorbikes would turn heads on
the highways.
The rally leaves from a Wanaka bar, the Local, at noon
tomorrow.
