BBQ???
Hi Everyone,
I've noticed that there are a lot of rides and general bike issues being posted. But what about a planning a BBQ so that everyone can meet everyone? I mean most of us generally meet each other every week or every month on a ride and not every ride is suitable for everyone.
Some thoughts:
Have to have a gas BBQ'S (or several!!!) so we can eat
BYO??? or have a kitty????
Near enough to a track so we can have fun as well (Manly Dam, Terry Hills, Narrabeen lakes??)
Far enough ahead so that we can plan ahead. That is no earlier than July
Whatcha think? I reckon if we can find a suitable place and date then its on!!!

group use to have a xmass ride and BBQ at Manly. I was looking forward to it this year but it never appeared on the radar.
I think its a great idea, Manly is a great location, quick lap first, then hit the BBQ's for a sausage sanga. They also have a great kids playground and it gives us a chance to be known to Nicole and the other rangers.
I agree I think Late July, early August would be the best time.
Count me in, if I haven't been bannished from the group after the Canberra Long Weekend.

what about my 'secret idea' which has been discussed with some of the others- a Hot Laps competition around Oxford Falls cross country which is a fast lap - what 10mins for Rob and Co - we can have a bbq/picnic down by the dams and send everyone off at maybe 3min intervals - I thought that could be fun...not that I will race, far more inclined to eat and drink and cheer!
we could even have a trophy - not that i am getting over keen or anything...!!!
MEEE
yeah sorry about the secret idea Christine! but if its a secret who can enjoy it?
I'll chat to the rangers at Manly Dam and see if they are not too opposed to the idea. Cause I'm not sure if they want a whole lot of us screaming around the tracks on a time trial as carnage and annoying people could happen.
Whats does everyone else think?

Stu is correct that the group used to ride manly dam and then enjoy a bbq at the dam itself at xmas.
I wouldnt make any official plans for a sprint at the dam but I am sure that a group ride would be just fine. Two groups, fast group and then the cruisers.
Oxford falls is probably a better location for the timed event.
Set a date!!

Either the Dam or Oxford Falls sounds great! Love both rides
And plenty of notice would be good too!
Happy to help organising if needed just give me a shout...
There are other options, but Manly Dam has to be the pick - they have an organised BBQ area there and all.
Top idea, what sort of date you thinking of?
That's my vote in. I'm going to be in New York visiting my sister and her new sprogger....so please wait till I get back!!

P.S. I'm good cook.....I'll bring yummy stuff.
How does Sunday 15th or Sunday 22nd sound?
Are there any big epic rides on then? I wouldn't want to clash with one of those.
After some feedback I suggest we have a one (or several laps) of the dam before the BBQ probably in a few groups depending on the number that come. That makes it about 10am for the rides and 12ish for the BBQ.
Any more suggestions??
Andrew
July I am guessing...
Seeing as the Christmas BBQ was overlooked it could be the Xmas in July BBQ!
weekend of the 21 & 22nd...if possible!
