So I’m hoping we can get a few comments going on this post, the basic gist of it is to make sure Spoke’s extended family in Christchurch is safe. So far we know all the Ground Effect staff are safe, some have lost homes but all are alive. WTB/Lezyne distributor Mark Dickson, his family and employees are also safe. I also just heard from Surly distributor David Whittam as well and things are good for his family as they are for frame builder Simon Courtney. Things aren’t so good for Keith Guthrie and the Cycle Trading shop as the below photo from the TVNZ website shows. Obviously we care about everyone in Christchurch but it would be great to know that those close to us in the bike industry are safe. So please post in the comments below if you have any news. We are thinking of you all!
Hi guys,
I made a list on the Christchurch Singletrack Club’s facebook page (click here to check it out, its very comprehensive!) of all the mountain bikers in Christchurch that I knew were okay.
Cheers
Rebekah

Good to hear about the MTB community! Marleen’s opened for business yesterday, apparently everyone ok and minor damage to premises.

Worrall’s South Island rep Luke Hollister and family are all ok but their home in Lyttleton didn’t fare so well. Just glad they are ok.

Me and my family are all good, and all our friends to, as far as I know. However the power of sick has a few surprises in it, in particular the little gap as you exit a corner has got temporarily longer, but will end out shorter. I’ll go up this afternoon, and hopefully get it all going well again. If anyone else has noticed anything on the track network please get in touch with Nick Singleton / CCC.
