10:30am - 2:00pm
Darebin Parklands Tower. Melways 31 C9

Collect a poker hand as you ride melbourne’s cobbled underbelly. Best hand at the end takes the jackpot. $10 in. Not a race.

Let me know if you’re coming and we can all ride over in a posse beforehand. Any type of bike will do. Bring yourselves, your bike some water and your mad adventure skillz.

Is this girls-only or are stinky boys allowed???

3

everyone is welcome, apparently.

yeah what he said. stink or no stink. boys and girls. all you need is a bike i reckon (and helmet) :evil:

(ps i don’t know who organised it. i just saw that this wasn’t posted here so i thought i would post it)

aside from the poker angle, it sounds suspiciously like the roobaix.

6

so you gonna do it? kirk and tom showed interest…

7

nah. i’m going to go and ride hills instead.

In like the Tasmanian.

I like the concept. Roobaix is a straight-up first past the post kisses the bluestone trophy - and there ain’t nothin’ wrong with that - this is a little more ‘fun for everyone’ from the look of it. everyone gets a prize day, that kind of thing :wink:

and it’s a good day to have it. everyone’s out getting maggoted at bbqs or at the track.

edit:

was ace. got dealt rubbish cards, but I can’t believe how much cobbled lanes you can ride in 18k … overheard the organisers say they rode it twelve times before they got it right linking everything up. Map’s around here somewhere, might convert it to a google map tomorrow. What was that laneway billycart thing on off the back of High St today though … looked interesting :lol:

A 15 year-old kid picked up $250 for 3 fives. Bless.

Rumor has it his mother is going to up the rent :evil:
