Here’s some of the team kitted out and ready to go, just before they left on Wednesday afternoon.
Here are some useful links to help you prepare for an emergency:

If you worry about their safety, there is something you can do: encourage them to take Ride Forever coaching, provided (and heavily subsidised) by ACC. It's delivered by experts and it works, as Simon Gotlieb's story shows. Neighbourly members can book a FREE Ride Forever course before 31 March using promo code NEIGH18 over here.
