Motorcyclists with silly grins. The image Graeme Staples paints of this year's Cold Kiwi tells the success of the reborn event.
The 39th running of the Cold Kiwi motorcycle rally was held in its new location at Horopito over the weekend and its spokesman Mr Staples said the event was "absolutely awesome".
"We had about 800 motorcyclists here - the new site worked well.
"There were people just sitting around with silly grins on their faces. It's really revitalised the Cold Kiwi."
Next year the club will celebrate the 40th running of the event, which brings together motorcyclists to the rural location.
