Did a whitepages search but the closest I found was Doncaster East.
Could have sworn he was coming from Templestowe.

I am hoping to be there for this one cos I am getting jack of missing so
many BRs. I had a real busy time with going away for work during the week
for a while there and so I had to spend quality time at home for the two
days out of seven that I was there. Then I had my mum come to visit for a
week and the outlaws for another week. I was also crook one week and the
kids were crook this weekend.

Enough with my excuses......I am keen to get some decent miles back in the
legs in preparation for when the new bike is ready to ride (it is currently
down to the bare frame and I am going to get it in for a respray in the next
week or so).

Ride On,

Gags

Still planning to make the anniversary my first sojourn to a BR... Not sure if it will be a regular occurrence (given that most weekends are given over to mtbs or the inevitable family bushwalk/ride), but I can't let this one go. (Especially since I live almost within sight of the starting point....)

BOM have got it wrong.

I'll be there too, and I hope to be more in aggressive mode, than scared of blowing up mode. 🙂

Given the historical nature of this ride, will there be an official photograph or photographs?

Raises hand, then wheezes with the effort... I'll be there, but my form
will be absent.

No smartass corrections from Melburnians allowed unless they intend to
ride on the day. And sending your other half doesn't count.

Good point, who's bringing a digital camera (or at least a phone with a
camera)?
