Who is going for free grub tomorrow ??

Anybody going to get in early for the free grub at Fed square tomorrow ??

I assume that the line if that is how is done could get pretty big ? Does it start at any particular time ? I could not find times on the BV website.

Edit: I found the times..... (duh)

There are also plenty of other breakfasts around VIC (and probably the rest of the country), so you don't need to limit yourself to just one! 😉

I just came back from our workplace one (DVA Canberra), where I won
the "brightest lycra" award.

Now technically I don't wear lycra, or knicks for that matter (long-
sleeve fluorescent orange tradie t-shirt and stretch ruggers shorts),
but I'm not giving the prize back! ;-)

It's one of these:

There were 3 flouro green tradie shirts at the RtW brekkie this
morning in the time I was there, I was wearing one of them.

Cheap, comfortable, dry quickly, and the long sleeved ones are good
for night riding - arm signals are easy to see!

Optus apparently got the award for the biggest corporate turnout,
must have all arrived earlier than I did!

Someone came up to me and asked if I had a motor in "that thing" as
apparently he comes up behind me on my commute and can't ever catch
me. Shows how much I notice, never seen him!

Mind you, my joy in this was rather diluted as he steamed past me up
Melville St....

sucks" line a lot today.

Apparentely the Yarra RTW is the 2nd biggest in Victoria. (well that's what I was told!).

Quick RR from Vic Gardens RTW brekkie, plenty of happy smiley cyclists, chilled out vibes, more freebies than you could poke a track pump at and our BUG stand went really well. How was Fred Square?

Got to fred square just before 8, giant queue so I bailed and headed
onto work, shocking headwind and flat legs, late start...

Should have gone to vic gardens...

I ended up going to the one out at Middle Park..... was great... came through it at about 7.05, as people were heading in they pulled up and filled up...

There were iced walnut scrolls, mini savoury tomato type things, mini mars bars, apple/orange juice, weather was great and lots of smiling faces, chatting away.

Wish it was like it every day 🙂

I can attest to BT's visibility from a distance. Congrats BT, the pump
looks well worth it.

There were 130 at ANU's R2W breaky this morning and plenty of others who
rolled through without stopping for pancakes. Great tail wind on the way
in this morning too. I didn't put the pedal down too hard but still
managed 28 mins at an average of 31.3. Now I'm praying for the wind to
change direction.

Mine wouldn't be so good, it has the black belly panel and the sleeves
are also black from the elbow down - in the "dirty zone".

The black belly panel is essential for maximising the attractivness of the
beer gut, and it dosn't really effect visibility.

They also have a collar and are SPF 50 so good sun protection.
I have been riding in them for years.

There's no rear pocket though and they take a bit off your speed on
downhills.
