BR17 (no it's not a typo)

ive decided that spending $75 on a mild case of hypothermia is just no
worth it. extended BR sounds good to me.

what if we head up Eltham-Yarra Glen Rd and keep going till we ge
bored find somewhere nice to get a bite and then turn around? its go
to be better than a soggy sandwich and a smelly tug boat ride

but its still unmade according to (above) report and i emailed my mate
who lives out there and he confirmed they have only done about 20% of
what we rode that last time...

So what happens if we continue to Panton Hill and go on from there?

How organised are you???

First you kno your gonna have a hangover (OK, that bit's easy enuff t
understand...)
Then, you know beforehand which suburb you are gonna wakeup in.

Oh, the days of discovering distant suburbs and unwelcoming dad's on
Sunday mornin... :rolleyes

I know it's a week early but was wondering if anyone is planning on doing
BR17 seeing it's on the day of ATB. I'm still undecided. I've entered the
100km from Sorrento but I'm having second thoughts about what sort of
treatment my bike is gonna get in the bus from Docklands to the start. If
nobody is doing BR17 then I'll get some bubble wrap and protect the bike as
best I can, and maybe carry the wheels on my lap in the bus (doesn't sound
too comfortable).

If they haven't already got it somewhere on their website, you could always
try calling BV to get the answer to your bike transport question.

I won't be out that weekend for either BR or ATBIAD. :-(
Instead I'll be out in the Grampians doing the Mt William climb :-) Only
thing is the company won't be quite the same as compared to doing the BR.

I'm in for this weekend. Decided I'd rather do the BR than the half
round the bay (despite having paid already). But Kinglake and beyond ai
yai. I might make it to St Andrews and turn back to Hurstrbridge. I'm
not real keen on the St Andrews to Kinglake rd anyway, too dangerous
with cars for my liking, although I'm sure there'd be some new speed
records set for the Kinglake down to Whittlesea hill.
