As all of you should know Robyn Wong is the sole female Kiwi representative for mountainbiking at the Athen Olympics. Robyn and her bloke Christian have been cycle racing in Europe during their summer for the last couple of years and the whole exercise gets quite expensive - especially with Christian's daily mud mask and toenail therapy.

So Matty "Hotcakes" Far got in touch with yours truly and suggested we run a fundraising auction for Robyn over this wacky interwebby thing. I thought it was a great idea and after some pulling of favours and general dancing we've produced three worthy packs for auction.

All the proceeds from these auctions will go to Robyn to help her continue to represent New Zealand overseas. Her website is http://www.robynwong.com

Pack One
* 1 Scott Riding Top Autographed by Robyn Wong
* 1 Scott Riding Top (your choice in size.)
* 1 Pearl Izumi Bottle

Pack Three

All of these are currently on auction on Trademe. The auctions close at noon on Friday the 20th of August. Robyn will be racing on Friday the 27th of August (11am Greek time.)

We'd like to thank Scott Bicycles, Pearl Izumi, John Kirkcaldie and Kashi Leuchs for the fabulous prizes. And of course the lovely and fast Robyn Wong http://www.robynwong.com
