8AM State library.  Michael Crowe, a volunteer for the Australian Youth

July.  I would love to have as many people as possible see us off from 
Melbourne on the morning of June 24th. If we could really claim the 
streets - critical mass style it would be amazing and provide a great 
impetus for the ride. we will be getting a lot of media coverage along the 
way and will be finishing in Sydney with a 2 day climate change summit 
called PowerShift. this event will have around 3000 participants
