Join your fellow Australians in Climate Change awareness! While we have all the necessary ingredients to mitigate and adapt to climate change we still lack the political action.
Let’s light the way forward to a safe climate future!
FITZROY Ride with the Climate Torch (racing all over Australia) on: Saturday
30th August
Where: Edinburgh Gardens rotunda
Meet: 10.50am.
Ride: 11.00am.
Remember: Safety first! Helmets must be worn and road rules adhered to.
Arrive: We’re heading down St George’s Rd & Brunswick St to Fitzroy Town Hall arriving at 11.30am.
After: BYO food, drink and picnic rug (we’ll provide Twister and frisbees). If the weather is good we’re holding a community picnic at Fitzroy Town Hall’s park. Then What? Brunswick representatives collect the Climate Torch on tandems at 1pm from our group of Fitzroyals!
Organisers: a couple of locals looking to make a difference by helping GetUp!’s Climate Torch Relay. Call Jules on 0421472116 with any questions.

If you are in the Hobart area during April, make sure to get along to this event. This year it’s being put on by the blokes over at Bottles and Chains, and from the description looks like it’s going to be a hoot.

Meet us at Federation Square at 7:30am on Saturday the 8th of December for the Melbourne fixed org au birthday and xmas puzzlecat. This is a team pairs event where you and your partner will need to navigate your way to controls at which you will find answers to puzzle questions. All controls will be optional, some will be worth more points than others and there will be a strict time limit of two hours.
Teams will be given a clue sheet at the rider briefing and will have 30 minutes to plan a route. They will then have two hours to get as many points as they can before finishing at the final control (aka BBQ). Points will be deducted for late return to the BBQ site.
This is not a fixed-only event so everyone is welcome to attend, just turn up at Fed Square on the morning with your partner - or, if you don’t have anyone to ride with, show up and we’ll pair you up with someone. Fast riding will not be required to get high points.
Free entry, everyone welcome. For more information, please email nathan at undershorts dot org or check the forums
