Canberra rides and beers

[Litenbror]

‘Dry enough’ im just wondering if Coppins will be under water and have to go the long way there

The climbs are always dry enough, it's the descents that get questionable.

Before we land on Stromlo, can I ask if there are any food options there, given that we're hitting it up at dinner time?

Secondly, and related to the question above, anyone up for bouncing into Bentspoke/Old Canberra Inn/wherever afterward?

I can bring Vegemite sandwiches.

If the handlebar is open they do some hot food options and there is Grease Monkey out there sometimes.

Seems that they are open until 8:30pm Friday, so that works nicely.

@droenn you want to ride share so you don't have to keep it tame/civil?

Grease Monkey has bailed so I don't know if the evening food options are up yet, I'll give 'em shout on Facey/Insta and ask.

Bentspoke takes walk-ins downstairs and upstairs is fully booked. Ideally a table outside would be great but might require some standing around.

are we ending up at the Lighthouse? But yes, happy to ride share!

Happy to start at Handlebar if thats going to be open, but I think Bentspoke or Canberra Inn are always going to be safer options.

Yeah, agreed. I can be in town early and hunt for an outdoor spot if that suits everyone. If it has to be handlebar, no probs, but keen to consider all options.

I'm going to try and get a ride in tomorrow afternoon/evening if it's not raining and will be coming in on the bike so either Stromlo, OCI or bentspoke would work best for me.

Going to have to bow out for tonight. Kids got a cold from school this week (tested and not COVID) and now I'm starting to get some symptoms. This isn't the kind of Christmas present you want to give anyone, especially at the moment.

 

[johnny]

That sucks, sorry to hear, mate.

So who's still in - @droenn @Scotty T @Tubbsy ?

 

[Scotty T]

@johnny it looks like you, me and @droenn, maybe @Tubbsy so a walk in should be possible. Bentspoke is most central and if too packed some possible other options in town. Lock in 6:30 at Bentspoke?

 

[johnny]

I'm down for the spoke, maybe burgers at Greasy;s or something.

 

[Tubbsy]

I'm in

 

[droenn]

Nice one, I'm in too. Do I risk public transport on the way in?

I will be, masked up.

[johnny]

Drinks, lol dingleberries..

 

[Dales Cannon]

@johnny has started early based on his day so far.

Have a gud en.

 

[Litenbror]

Sounds like I missed a big one. Anyone up for Stromlo tomorrow morning to tell me all about it?
