[MEL] Puzzlecat birthday bbq and xmas ride: Dec 8th « on: November 25, 2007, 03:31:02 PM »

On Saturday 8th December - I'm thinking of running a puzzlecat and bbq... It sorta coincides with the birthday and xmas so why not throw them in too?

The puzzlecat will be a fixed time team pairs event... something like a cross between an alleycat, treasure hunt and rogaine.

We'll need at least three teams to make it worth doing... so is anyone interested? It will run in place of the regular Saturday ride. 8am briefing, 8:30 start. 2 hours long and bbq from 11am on the river. No entry fee, no prizes, everyone welcome... it's not a race, it's fun with a result.

If there's enough interest I'll organise it and post more details on the front page.

So you have to do it in pairs? I only have one real friend who rides fixed and he's slow as!

haha. poor slow friend.
i'm sure if you turn up on the day, you can find someone who's fast and needs a partner. especially if you know your way around the city well


i may come, but i've got a friend visiting from interstate, so i may be hungover.

you should come anyhow because even though it's a pairs thing (plus one threesome if required)...

a: this is not a fixed only thingo, anyone is welcome on any bike
b.1: fast riding will not be much use if you use your head
b.2: it's not a race
c: even if you turn up alone we'll make sure you have someone else to ride with :)

Liam: you should both come along.

i have a wedding the night before, but i'll try for 8am, and then try again for 11. sounds like a good/fantastic idea Nath. yestdys cyclogaine was really good, really hot and really good.

I'll be in Melbourne over that weekend but I'm not sure I'll be able to make the early start. Definitely going to be bringing my bike over though.

Now on the front page.

Here's a challenge for you guys: bring a non-fixed partner to be your teammate

i'd like to be in for this... might have to team up with someone though as most of my partners in crime are overseas or too lazy to get out of bed before 9 of a weekend.

I will have finished my exams by then so I suppose I had better rock up to a ride for once...
Now I just have to convince my husband or a friend to get up and riding so "early"; and familiarise myself with the city streets. Despite having lived in the outer suburbs of Melbourne all my life I still have the direction sense of a cheese sandwich when I'm in the CDB...
