    Are you asking if the Big Ride trucks got out of the showground at
    Coopernook? I don't know, but it was pretty interesting just walking
    in there to get my gear at around 11am.

    Given that one of the trucks got bogged there in the morning even
    before the rain, I expect it may have taken a while! That place looked
    like a swamp when we got there...

    I spoke to one of the truckies about 9am, he seemed to thing that he had
    Buckley's of getting in or out!

    Pity, it was a good ride apart from the weather.

    Yeah, in a strange way I actually enjoyed the last day riding in the
    rain. I think it was the quickest I rode all week and there was no
    problem keeping cool 🙂

    On another note, I was working at the time so I never caught the
    announcements. Did they announce where the next year's big ride is?

    Is there any truth to the rumour that Bicycle Victoria (?) will be
    running the show next year?

    Yes, Alex Unwin announced it and it is on the VicBike web site. He did
    hint where but it was all a bit vague. I have not had good experiences
    with Vic Bike rides but it makes an awful lot of sense for all sorts or
    reasons to just have one group organising all the Australian (and NZ)
    rides so assuming I do next years ride it will start with an open mind.
