[R2U.announce] Agro Magpies and Ride to Work Day

[Adam Taylor]

Hi all,

 

Quick Reminder that this Wed is Ride to Work Day and we will be hosting
a free brekky and handing out some prizes to ANU cyclists in Union Court
from 8am.

 

Please register online <http://www.bv.com.au/ride-to-work/>  as a
participant and member of team ANU (team code 141836). Puts you in the
running for more prizes and provides us with some useful stats. 

 

Thanks to Ruud Van Scheppingen for forwarding the very informative vid
on how to avoid magpie attacks:

 

'For those who are riding bikes and don't know what to do with magpie
attacks.

We did know of a feral magpie at Clunies Ross Street so last Monday we
did some research on this issue and went on our bikes to the CSIRO
Discovery car park.

Enjoy the show (but keep your helmets on).

 

Ruud'

 

 

 

Cheers,

 

Adam

Hi all,

 

That time of year is approaching once again ... when the Lycra-clad and
helmeted congregate in Union Court for pancakes and coffee. Ride to Work
Day is on Wed 14 October and we will be hosting a free brekky for
cyclists in Union Court from 8 - 9.30am. As usual there'll be spot
prizes up for grabs and plenty of food.

 

Register as a member of Team ANU

Register online <http://www.bv.com.au/ride-to-work/>  to be in the
running for prizes. Our team code is 141836

 

Indoctrinate a mate

Ride to Work Day is always a great opportunity to finally give riding a
go for those who've been procrastinating. If you have a friend or
colleague in that situation, having a set date for action and the offer
of a riding companion and pancake reward may help them commit to give it
a go. Some tips for new riders can be found in the 'Thinking about
riding to work? <http://www.bv.com.au/file/RTWD09_DL_Brochure2(2).pdf> '
brochure.

 

Hope to see you all there.

 

Cheers,

 

Adam Taylor
