However if you type "Queens Birthday Bicycle" into Mr Google you get some erm  interesting results. However I couldn't go past the original single cover for Queens Bicycle race. Enjoy. For the young-uns a single was a plastic disc with two songs on it.

All

The weather report looks good at this stage so you don't have an excuse there. Pace is set as gentlemanly. 

Partly cloudy. Slight (30%) chance of showers. Light winds becoming southeast to southwesterly 15 to 20 km/h during the day.

Winter is Here 
That's my last chance to use a GOT reference and so I am taking it. This week marks the start of the winter schedule that runs from this Sunday through to end of August. During this period

1. All Rides start in the City at 8:00 am
2. All Rides will be scheduled as beach rides
3. If we get a fine day and there is consensus, we will choose a short hills loop
4. Conversely if the weather looks really S#$T, we will make a no ride call on WhatsApp Saturday night.

Long Johns, Thermal Jocks, Arm Warmers .....Brrrr!

Sunday Ride - Outer Harbor via Anzac Highway

This Sunday's ride is Outer Harbor via Anzac Highway. The days are getting shorter and so I have consulted the Druids and its time to move our official start time to 8:00 am. That said I am still riding in shorts from my midweek rides up Nortons so winter hasn't come yet.

Meeting Time 8:00 am in the City 

Please look on WhatsApp for updates over the week.

All

This Sundays Ride has been scheduled as Cudlee Creek. It's an attempt to burn off the democracy sausage outbound, then try to burn off Babettes cakes on the home bound leg.

Meet: 7:30am in the city.

Please keep an eye on WhatsApp as we will look at the forecast closer to the day. A reminder if your not in the WhatsApp group please install the application on your phone and drop Aldo, Michael or Brian a note and we will add you in.

The weather looks good for Sunday so looking forward to the ride.

For the new BG's

The Kat Killer Klassic honors the anniversary of an unfortunate mouse, one cats tragic death and Dave’s spectacular fall. For those not in the know, early 2009 David C, an original BG and mad cyclist took a bad fall when his paths crossed with a suicidal kitty that resulted in the cat ending up in Dave’s front wheel and subsequently jamming into his fork effectively stopping his front wheel ‘dead’ and ejecting him at speed into the bitumen. The cat survived the crash but passed away later that night.

The BG can’t thank the owner of the cat enough for her assistance with an unconscious David and we respectfully hope the cats death was not to traumatic – R.I.P.P.
