Ditto. B2GC11-115. Riding back is the plan. Just got to spend the next three months training and getting my fitness back. And dropping the extra 7 kilos I'm carrying just now. I have to outrun Comedian, just this once...

That sounds like a good idea. I'll be in it. We could be the "Tight Arses" or maybe "Frugal" sounds more like a pro team.
For team kit we could wear old white ts with "Frugal" scribbled in texta pens and maybe some sponsors names. Hey sponsors! There's another good idea...

Haven't registered yet. Tempted to register while the pre-sale is on to get $50.00 entry, cause I'm a big cheapskate.
I could ride back (yeah, I'm dreaming).
I need a 100km + ride in preparation for the Great Victorian Bike Ride in Nov/Dec. I missed the Brissy to the bay because I had the virus that is going around, so I am still cranky about that.
Cheers,
Anniegray

BQ members are only paying $50 for entry at the moment

Get her to recruit a friend to ride with her - that way you get to both ride the course at your own pace

I'm doing the Bridge to Brisbane run in September. I might sign up for this too. Either with my wife on our old Trek MTBs, or I'll do it alone on the roadie.
