What a day!
Huge thanks to all of you who either entered the ride, or came along to cheer family and friends on, check out the bikes on show, and all the items for sale.
We were fortunate to have a beautiful, sunny day, amazing courses set out by Stephen Cox, and fantastic volunteers, without whom the event would not take place.
Huge thanks to our sponsors:
W H Worrall and Co Ltd (Campagnolo/Continental)
Ant McKenzie Wines
Crown Badges and engraving
Champion System NZ
Onfire Design
Forza Cycleworks

Most of all though, we put the event on to give classic bike enthusiasts ‘their event’, and we are extremely pleased that so many of you came out for the day.
over the next few weeks we will be contacting everyone for feedback, so we can bring you a bigger, better event next year.
We will set up a Dropbox where everyone can upload and download photos of the event

Once again, from the organising team- Thankyou all so much!

So, all around us, events are being cancelled. The La Forza Classic WILL be held on the 14th March. The only proviso, of course, is that the government does not lock Auckland down further, so we can all get to level 1.
We are very aware of the fact that a lot of people are travelling to the event, so should anything change, we will email everyone directly on , or before Sunday the 7th of March, with details.
but at this stage, plan your trip, get out any bikes you have to display (unfinished projects welcome on display too), and bring your family, mates etc, for a great day out.
