Been talking about this for a while now. Melbourne trip is definantly going ahead for whoever is keen. So everybody sort your shit out. as there is plenty of stuff to do in Melbourne late November. Personally i couldnt decide between the two weekends so i am staying there for the whole week in between them. Here’s your options:
Me and Kristine are there from the 27th of nov to 5th of december. Flying down and either riding the 20ks from Tullamarine to the city or getting the bus. We are staying at a backpackers on Flinders st. We are flying Virgin Blue, they give you 28 kgs baggage if you have sporting equipment. Its worth the extra cash just to not fly Jetstar and be stranded 60 k’s away from the city at avalon airport
As one of the organisers of the alleycat part of the ‘ring of fire’ if you let us know you are coming down we should be able to sort you out with a suitable ‘tour guide’ for the race or a ‘visual aid’ if you arent familiar with melbourne.
no promises on the quality/sanity of the ‘tour guides’… but that might be what you want :evil:
I’ve just been ruled out for the alley cat weekend with my sisters 21st but I’ll probably be coming down mid week to just roll round and stick round for the POLO>
i’m also willing to help out of towners with hints and tips for the BFF alleycat / world cup weekend. and those thinking of riding in from tulla should definitely pm me for a map - i ride out that way quite a bit.
if you’re coming down for polo, well, you’re on your own. the two don’t really mix down here. one of the weird quirks of this town.
