Hello cyclists..!

 

it is time to start pumping up the tyres cos Cycle for Old Growth Forests is about to start up in Melbourne...!

 

In the lead up to the Federal Election I am to gathering a crew of cyclists to hit marginal electorates such as Ringwood, Blackburn and Healesville and also to a few weekend markets and festivals.  What we will be doing is riding to our destination and then handing out flyers and stickers and having a chat to people.  We need to raise awareness on Old Growth Forests and the destruction of these wonderlands purely for wood chips.... With the Federal Election looming it is important to hit the streets in the best way we know how... on our BiKeS!! And inform people on these important issues....

 

I have some tentitive days for bike rides that I would love you to pencil in your diaries.....

 

thursday 2.9.04 ride to Blackburn in the morning to catch the morning punters. Hand our flyers and have a chat, get some local media.

 

saturday 4.9.04 Healesville. (don't worry, we can get a train most of the way!!) The Wilderness Society are setting up a stall this day so it would be great to ride out and make some noise in the main street.

 

sunday 5.9.04 Hurstbridge The Wattle Festival.....

 

thursday 9.9.04 ride to Ringwood to do the same thing.

 

saturday 11.09.04 St Andrews Market

 

saturday 18.9.04 there will be a stall in Healesville and also one in Acland St St kilda

 

Monday 20.09.04 Hitting the centre of Melbourne.... riding the streets of the city!

 

Saturday 25.9.04 Maybe Olinda/Belgrave??

 

Monday 27.09.04 Inner city.. maybe the northern suburbs...

At this stage these dates are 99.9% definetly, maybe accurate...
