Foa pre-roobaix mixer.

depends how strong your liver is.

Depends on how many beers Kit keeps giving you.

Well there is an Ice Hockey game. Canberra v Melbourne - trying to figure out if I should even try to schmooze some tickets or not bother.

sounds kinda rad, what time?

the #foapreroobaix mixer is on the 22nd, the match is the 23rd - where’s the clash?

Canberra play two games in Melbourne this weekend.

22 June @ 5:00 (Knights v Mustangs)
23 June @ 3:30 (Knights v Ice)

Oh. The clash is the actual Roobaix event - not #foapreroobaix.

So when does it all stop usually on the Sunday arvo?

I’d say go to the Saturday game and #foapreroobaix afterwards? You could make it there by eight-ish yeah?

the what?

reason we’re friends #6

So how far is the roubaix ?50km or so

I am running on nil sleep at the moment. I have no idea whats going on.

40km i think

i’m glad that after 12 years of knowing me, you now have a 6th reason to be my friend.

it’s just all those backward steps you take :wink:

and who said that 6 was the highest the numbers go to?

ilu

So does any one race it? How does it work, there’s a trip to France up for grabs.

The trip to France is a raffle, so anyone can win.

You race it by taking your time, doing all the cobbled sections, getting lost, stopping at pubs / bakeries / etc. having fun with your mates (old and new), then looking at the bike porn at the end.

This is how we did it last year:

Chilled out and waited for Dylan at the start, then lost him 10 min in.

Rode, made good time then stopped for a chicken Parma so big that it would choke a pelican.

Ate it all and drank beer.

Realised we had only an hour left so pedalled off feeling full and slightly sick.

Smashed the koppenberg, then smashed into the ground at flemington drains.

Got to the finish, in time, and then went to the pub where stories and jolly times abound.

I think you can do the Roobaix many different ways, they are all the right way

Last year was fucking awesome.

Sounds like a plan, oh and for the record I am no way fit enough to race any thing

Shotgun racing dayne!
