It’s the first *real* winter’s morning as Val and Faith brave the chill on their respective bikes to make it to the studio. We share our bike moments before kicking off with a reminder that today is officially the start of the 3CR Radiothon and we need you to Activate the Airways by subscribing or making a donation to the Yarra BUG Radio Show. Yarra BUG Radio relies completley on volunteers and can only stay on the airwaves at 3CR if donations and subscribers provide support to keep the station on air.
Moving on to other news Val takes a look at Contador’s Giro win. We remind listeners of the roadworks starting in Swanston St this week, an opportunity to find those alternative routes for when tunnel works make Swanston St impassable for a longer period, and touch on some of the results from a recent bike survey.
We also take a look at where and how you can find somebody to ride with, whether its for social or training rides. Some of the options we touch on are Meet Up, Bike Fun, Girl Ride! Melbourne, local bike shops, cycling clubs and BUGS amongst others. Val gives listeners the low down on lights for these dark winter evenings and we finish with a couple of events coming up.
