Brisbane meet up
Postby Comedian » Sat Jun 11, 2011 6:53 pm
If you're keen, post up ideas!
My idea would be to meet at the Boardwalk bar by the river. We could meet from 4 on a Friday.. have a drink or two. They do dinner but also make totally mean wedges. There is ample bike parking resting up against the fence next to the river.
If people are keen pick a date and book a table. They get busy on a Friday so we'd have to book a little way out. Thursdays are much quieter if there is any interest. What about the 1st of July?

Ok... I sort of saw it as a rolling thing. Like not everyone would be there from that early but people could just turn up when they finished work. It is probably more handy for those that work in the CBD. Doesn't mean we can't do it on the weekend, or indeed have two!Max wrote:I'm up for it, but wouldn't be able to attend that early in the day. Perhaps sometime after 1830? Or a weekend?

AC and I have talked about getting the Nundah and BBTA groups to synch a ride one weekend.
Both do similar rides at similar times.

@Winston... I sort of saw this as an opportunity for more of a meet up rather than a ride. There is ample bike parking there though so I know I'll be getting there on the bike. How else would you get into the cbd?

RULEZ for Brisbane meet up.
1. NO LYCRA ALLOWED.
2. No fluorescent clothing.. let's aim to look like a bunch of normal people!
3. You must arrive on a bicycle or velomobile (note - no restrictions on wheel size apply!)
Any more RULEZ?

See you there!
I guess one of the advantages of this bike is that I doubt anyone would consider stealing it!

I like this. It would be nice if other people around us can't work out who the bikes belong to.Comedian wrote:Who's for a new rule for the event?

Suppose I can always row down the river with the crew.

Boardwalk Bar sounds good, i am not familiar with that end of town but it should be good.
for me no chance of being there at 4, but might be able to be there soon after 5.
no doubt by that time the rest of you will be well lubricated.
P.S. Yongkun. Uni exams will be finished by the 1st of July.

Just how close are the bike racks to the actual establishment?
