Beach Ride - one hot night in Jan - register for date
******************************************************
Date TBA (hot weather required) - Join the bicycle beach party as we ride to
the sea for a swim and fish 'n' chips on a hot summer night. But because we
don't know the weather in advance, we can't set the date. So you need to
email
your mobile phone number to beachriders at gmail.com or SMS "Beach" to 0439

you will be sent an SMS giving the time (evening) & place (CBD) for the ride
start.
