Brisbane Fixed Ride 1 - Sun 13/11/05

[Andrew]

Can't let those Melbourne fixxers have all the fun.

Myself and two others are meeting at the QUT end of the Goodwill bridge at
7am this Sunday (13/11) for the inaugural BFR.

Route will follow the river from QUT to UQ, then to Indooroopilly, across
the bridge and through Oxley, Graceville, Yerongpilly, Fairfield, and at
Dutton Park either around West End on the river or shortcutting back to the
Goodwill bridge if we bit off more than we could chew. Muffin stop location
is as yet unknown, suggestions welcome.

Proposed route can be seen below in green, blue is as yet undecided, and
it's all subject to change on the day if conditions (weather, hills,
hangovers) dictate.

We're geared at 42x16, 42x17 and 39x16, ~65-70". It's a social ride so the
pace won't be frantic.

Post, email (ahblake at gmail dot com) or call/sms 0410 345679 if you're
keen to join the fun. Keep an eye out for a white Peugeot, green Raleigh or
yellow Apollo, or the only bikes in the area sans gears.

Extremely, ride leaves at 7:00:05am. Or you know, whenever.

Here's a Googlemap with distance
http://tinyurl.com/72l29
34km or 28km without the West End loop.
