Hmm, it falls thru, we can try to bring along Goatage to Saturdays 'Dingley Village Housewarming Festival'. :p

I might breeze through Melbourne a week or so after Christmas. Might
acquaint myself with this Goatage thingy if I'm there on a Friday.
What, when and where is it? Will you mob look like cyclists?

I'll pass myself off as someone else, having revealed my true feelings
for cats.

Be great to see you there.

Very bike friendly management no need to lock up outside wheel right in and park.

Regular night is every second Friday which would be the 29th Dec and 13th Jan.
You can usually find one or two regulars from the forum there on the other Fridays as well.
We'll of course be the scruffy folk making ourselves comfortable at the table closest the bar;-)

If you're not on the bike catch the 109 tram to Burnley St it's not far to walk from there.

So we'll see you down at River Street Burnley for more Hightailed fun. Don't worry tho, check the Goat site http://www.goatbeer.com.au for any updates regarding opening hours over the festive season. I may or may not be in attendance, depends upon how the ribbage is healing.

Amys Ride - January 7th 2006
Regarding Amys Ride entries - I contacted John Trevorrow and he informed me that they will not be closing entries before Christmas. So rest assured, entries do not close on tomorrow. Email us if you want to be in the WoJ team,
http://www.amysride.com.au

Gipps Street Steps
And another thing...for Melbourne viewers using the Yarra Trail, if you're in the Gipps Street area tomorrow between 7-30 to 8-30 am, be sure to drop past and ask Richard Wynne MHR for a free fruit juice & have a polite chat about how *vital* state funding will be to replace the steps. Coo-ee Boroondara BUG! More on YarraBUG: http://www.yarrabug.org/

Offs
Is there something in the water/air? Why are so many of us having nasty offs?!? Silly season or what? Bugger, time for another analgesic. Darling, if you're reading this, all the chocolates been consumed. Thought you may expect that to occur. 😄

Seeing as I'm not working friday night for once, I might drop by and say hello :-).

Thanks Skewer/Pete. I will be back in Qld by 13 Jan but might be there
on the 6th.
Unfortunately I will be a car-boy for this trip. I'm doing a road-trip
with my two lads.

Any chance you can be in Geelong for Amys Ride?

Nice idea - I'll try and if so, will keep my eyes out for WoJ.
Thinks ... I wonder if I can toss in a bike? My kids would kill me if I
followed the Bay Classic on their holiday!

I've signed up.
The 50 or the 45 I'll go with the flow (as long as it's a slow)
Oh no! I'm rhyming, Must Go.

We're on the 45, Bikesoilers doing the 120. Unfortunately any prep for me is going to be on the windtrainer. At least I'll gently turn the legs over instead of remaining completely inactive whilst the ribbage heals. 🙁

None of us are registered yet (it's on the list of "things to do"😉 but at present da Man is taking his kids on the tootle around the gardens, one of my kids and a mate are doing the 45, and I'm planning on the 120, but may yet join the young'ns on the 45.

It should be a great day...
