May 2008
LOGO BF Clubs
Australian Flag Mackay Maiden

Let's jump on the MBTC Sunday Easy ride of Melbourne's bike paths - meet 9.15am Federation Square and circumnavigate the 'burbs, reacquainting yourselves with "the cyclists roadways". Plenty of places to bow out - lots of train stations. This is a good social "BF getting to know each other ride." Rain cancels, I presume...

+++

Anyone want to suggest a ride (in between showers) that we can all join? Please contact me and I'll post it here. There isn't a formal Melbourne BF club as such, but plenty of enthusiastic Friday friends! I'm here til May 14, so anytime in between.
