Come along and have some fun riding in the drain. It will probably be an elimination event - winners keep riding till there is one male and one female left. At 1pm you can even make the Saturday ride beforehand. Bring all your friends - this is not serious racing :)

A reminder to anyone interested: Drags this coming Saturday 19th 1pm.

Same place as last time:



Citylink bike route, Mt. Alexander Rd & Citylink - in the Moonee Ponds creek storm-water overflow. Follow path under citylink into the drain, and along to finish line area.

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to have a go - this is NOT a fixed-only event. Bring all your friends and have a tool around in the drain. Elimination by random selection in two categories: Male & Female. All entrants will get at least one run. Turn up, pay your $5 and wait to be called up. Costumes optional.

Prizes from Shifterbikes, Fyxomatosis, and fixed org au will be awarded to participants after racing - all participants will be in the running.

BOM is forecasting showers - and since this event is to be held in a drain, that may complicate things a touch. The current plan is:

In the event of rain -> Event Cancelled.

:/ Sad, but if the event has to be cancelled - I'm glad it's for a good cause heheh.

I think the 'yellow' Snowflake would disagree with you, Nath.

Hi, has this one been canceled? Forecast for tomorrow doesn't look awesome.

Forecast for Saturday
Fine during the morning, but a few showers during the afternoon. Fresh
northwesterly wind.

Could be better than expected? "showers" often means "no rain" here in Melbourne.

ndf?

We should be able to handle "a few showers", so assume it's on unless the race course is filled with water.

I just did a quick recon:


17:45 EST

The middle channel is fairly full, but the race area is clear all the way to the giant phallus, so if the rain eases in the morning, and all we get is a few showers - I'm confident we can make it happen!
