As pseudo-usual, we’ll be meeting at the QUT end of the Goodwill Bridge at 6am this saturday for a ride, destination unknown, but possibly Northside.
All welcome, as long as you’re fixed. See you there.

Ace ride!# thanks guys, that was loads of fun.
To all those who piked because of the rain: I am very sorry you missed it, even “halfy” made an appearance, although no blood this time
C’mon Brisbane & Gold Coast fixies - come out of the shadows and ride!@#
Oh, sorry for breaking the “no photo, no post” rule, but I’m holding out for a head mount still camera.

Is the Brisbane ride on this Sat? I don’t have my bike but may come and meet you all…
Should be on… watch this space for updates
BRILLANT…am very tempted now to take my bike up!
At the moment it’s on for 6am this Sat, meeting at the north (Qld uni of technology) end of the goodwill pedestrian bridge in the CBD. (If you get lost call one of us and we’ll direct you. My mobile is 0410 345679)
If you can’t get your bike up with you, perhaps one of the other guys up here can hook you up with a ride. What size frame do you usually ride?
Then all you’d have to bring would be a helmet, perhaps shoes&pedals.
I’ll email the other Brisbane guys and see if there’s anything available. Sadly, I only have one fixie.
FANTASTIC>…I don’t have a bike, but will come and meet you all on foot. I have found a place to live as well…I will now reside in Hawthorne (please don’t tell me its an awful place to live).
Cheers guys, see you in a bit.
Rhino,
Don’t know if you’ll see this in time, but PeterMc (rogaine) can hook you up with a frame if you have a helmet.
Also, if you don’t end up on a bike, give us your mobile # and we’ll tell you when we’re almost back to the city so we can all meet up and have a beer/coffee.
Andrew.
you guys drink beer after rides, that early in the morning?
nice choice of cities rhino.
n.
Hell … its not all that early … maybe 0930 …
[edit] post ride 0745 this morning - coffee only tho
Great ride again this week - that river loop is super fun Thanks and see you next time or whenever .
Nath.
Yeah, only because Peleton isn’t licensed. If there was beer to be had I’d have had it. I thought it was going to be a cold wet ride, instead I was pleasantly surprised that it was a hot dry ride.
Here’s my top 5 events from todays ride:

PS: There’s a $2K CF track bike in the hallway at Peleton in Milton, with the styling Miche Supertype seatpost. Very nice.
I’d like to add:
The only thing that marred the day was being told to “fuck off dickhead” by motorists on the ride home from Nerang Station. Yep it’s all class, style and sophistication here on the coast
Yesterday’s ride, from my place at The Gap, the Brisbane “River Loop”, maybe the best known of local rides, done “backwards”.
The meet point is at 11.something K, coffee at Peleton, a bike shop combined cafe, at 45.something K. For occasional Brisbane visitors the XXXX brewery with its distinctive signage is around 200 metres north of here.
Only three of us, but nice day for it and a good ride.
Cheers
Gents, I tried to find the bridge and meet at 6, but I got lost in the University. I am up and moved there by the 15th, and will join for the first ride on 19th Sunday.
