May 2008 May. 4 MELBOURNE RIDE! Lynette Chiang, Bike Friday Customer Evangelist, 0420 968 967 (Australia) MELBOURNE Let's jump on the MBTC Sunday Easy ride of Melbourne's bike paths - meet 9.15am Federation Square and circumnavigate the 'burbs, reacquainting yourselves with "the cyclists roadways". Plenty of places to bow out - lots of train stations. This is a good social "BF getting to know each other ride." Rain cancels, I presume... +++ Anyone want to suggest a ride (in between showers) that we can all join? Please contact me and I'll post it here. There isn't a formal Melbourne BF club as such, but plenty of enthusiastic Friday friends! I'm here til May 14, so anytime in between.
