Geelong Full Moon Ride - Friday 22 Feb
******************************************************
6.30pm, leaving from outside Cafe 9 Zero, 90 Pakington St, Geelong West.
The destination of the next Full Moon Ride will be Eastern Beach for a swim.
The route will involve quiet back streets, peaceful river & waterfront paths
along with the odd park where entree and BBQ dinner will be served.  

Incidently this is the evening prior to the famous 'Pako Festa', which is a
great community event celebrating all that is good with multiculturalism. It
commences at 9am on Saturday 23rd Feb - plenty to see at minimal cost - good
family fun.

We should be within 4 kilometres of a train station at all times for those
requiring transport back to Melbourne by train. Eastern Beach is only 1
kilometre from the main Geelong Station. See: http://vline.com.au ;

Beach Ride - one hot night in Feb/Mar - 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 88 00
93. Then when a hot night (over 25 degrees) is forecast in the next few days,
you will be sent an SMS giving the time (evening) & place (CBD) for the ride
start.  If you already registered this year, no need to register again.

******************************************************
Most rides go at a social pace, run rain or shine, and are free (like the
streets themselves).

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