Date TBA (hot weather required) - Join the bicycle beach party as we ride to<br>
the sea for a swim and fish 'n' chips on a hot summer night. But because we<br>
don't know the weather in advance, we can't set the date. So you need to email<br>
your mobile phone number to beachriders@gmail.com or SMS "Beach" to 0439 88 00<br>
93. Then when a hot night (over 25 degrees) is forecast in the next few days,<br>
you will be sent an SMS giving the time (evening) & place (CBD) for the ride<br>
start. If you already registered this year, no need to register again.<br>

streets themselves).<br>
<br>
BikeFun depends on people like you to create events and contribute to<br>
Melbourne's creative bike community. Organise a ride (or whatever) and<br>
BikeFun will promote it.<br>
