Default So how was your Ride To Work Day?


Yes, share your story of the 2004 edition of RTWD, did you,

- Ride to work because it was an advertised BV event,
- Rode to work regardless of it being an advertised BV event,
- Got a bunch ride going via work/social contacts,
- Popped down to F(r)ed Square for free munchies & entertainment,
- Wanted to ride in but stuff got in the way or used the car/caugh
PT.
- Something else, please tell….

Ours started off with a trip down to Richmond Town Hall where Yarr
Council put on a Cyclists Brekkie & Brunswick Street Cycles had a stal
& work stand for minor repairs.

Partook in the usual social pleasantries by chatting away to loca
cyclists, council staff et al and did a well received presentation o
the Wonders of a AirZound2 (under the portico of the town hall, goo
acoustics!) Later cycled off to F(r)ed Square for a quick visit & cha
and then re-commenced ride to work.

Decided to take a short cut through Queen Vic Market, hit a tricky bi
of bluestone, tried to dab, but forgot one was clipped in. Duly fel
over & dented right knee. Ouch. Got to office, parked bike & starte
work as pod dweller.

Afternoon, happily reunited with bike, riding home up Queensberry
notice big plume of smoke up ahead. Get off bike, call partner, WTF? I
that near home? Yes, start riding home real fast; get to intersection o
Hoddle, fook, that’s really CLOSE. (Damn, freewheel is stuffing u
again, too tight after taking out spacer. Note, must go to LBS thi
weekend.) Get closer, phew, factory on corner of Mollison & Nicholson
Pedal along for a closer look, just like all the other resident
milling around. Hmm, spectacular. Get home, pat the cats & cuddle dawg
So, was your day as exciting as this? ;
