BV Bikes heading west

I was given a brochure for the Albany to Perth ride on Sunday. Th
people giving out the brochures were talking them up and one of thei
big points was "you get a free bike"

I had a look at the brochure and you get a 'straight bar tourer chose
by Bike Victoria' and you are advised, if you want further details, t
go to the BV site

Bloody hell!! Western Australia is under attack from marauding can
toads from Queensland crossing our border in the north. Now its B
bikes!!

Curiously, if I remember correctly, the bikes on offer caome with 700
wheels which I believe is somewhat of a departure from the GVBR bike
(and the 'further information' that is suggested in the Albany Pert
ride brochure.

Can you give me some more info on this ride? For example, what sort of ride
is it, who is organising it, (can you do the ride and NOT receive the free
bike!)?

This is all I could find... I was looking for a cost...
anyone know (roughly) how much it might cost to participate?
