I'm pretty keen, but am baulking at the cost (around $50, isn't it??).

Maybe we should organise a Bne-Gold Coast (and return) LA ride!!

Sterling idea. But I'm sure we can come up with a better [read safer] and more picturesque route. Perhaps the tambourine mountain loop, or out to dayboro and back in through redcliffe.

Lets work up a plan at the next LA ride (if that ever happens again all you slack b@@tards)
 
yeah, it is a bit exy ($60) but i figure its a good cause and very relevant to me... my dads a diabetic and one of my closests friends dad has had multiple operations over the past 3 months due to the effects of diabetes (they amputated his leg)...
id also like to maybe do some research in the field when i graduate...

but i do wish all those little kids with type 2 diabetes would just stop eating **** and stop being so f*cking fat...

anyhoo, if anyone is going to be doing it, let me know... im planning to do the whole return trip (200km)

Hehehe, I concur. With both of you. Although if we're
talking about little kids, I reckon we should go bash their
parents. Bigger kids we should just slap them and steal
their Mars Bars. Mmmmmm Mars Bar...

I got a call from the Red Cross at 8pm last night. "Could you please
be here at 8 Thursday morning, we have an emergency" (hopefully it
wasn't a cyclist). When I got there the place was packed with fellow
bleeders. I think someone was in serious trouble. As a reward for
turning up they gave a me a bag of chocolate hearts and a Mars bar.

This end of the country they've been ringing up all the type O.
They've put me on whole blood then 2-3 plasma then another whole
blood.

Looks like they are dead low in all respects. Probably because of
the BSE problem, exclude anyone who has been to pommyland and that
cuts a hell of a lot of people.

Thanks for the tip on the Balmoral Imp Century Abby. Might see you
there.
Apart from the ride, I'm scouting a new club to join and will be able
to check them out.

im bumping this because its steadily creeping close to the 15th.
i think they have over 2000 people in this already... i wonder how many are keen for the ride back?
also realised yesterday that i dont start uni until 1pm on the monday, so that basically means: ride, stretch, bath, beer!!
anyone going to join me? (not in the bath you pervy b*stards!)

as for this big LA ride, im free on weekends after the 19th of november until early march... im sure we can decide on some time during those 3 months :p

I didn't do this ride last year because of the cost with my kids,
although it is a good cause for many of the sufferers (not the
lard-arses who invite the disease). The folks who did it had a phat
time - many happy punters. I did the ride a few weeks later with the
Grand Prix and it was just 'OK' - not a classic route by any stretch,
as MM said earlier in the thread. I rode there this week with my son
who wanted 'the badge' and honestly, the route mostly sucks. Go if you
want to be in the event, but not for the route.
