I'm out: big weekend planned (DSS party Sat night, woohoo!) and I found a ticket to Soundwave festival I forgot I bought Don't have a bike or fitness either, there's always next time.

 

[Oddjob]

Yep, unless its a big issue for the majority.

I have a day release from the Warden, so I'm not in such a big rush any longer ...

RIK ... Next time ... shame, I thought you were building something for the occassion ... oh wells

 

[mongoosedh]

I've flip-flopped again. I want to do it now.

 

[Fatman]

We might need to co-ordinate the Glenbrook-Woodford car shuttle for all of us driving. What's the plan, meet at Glenbrook at 7am? Offers for a lift are still there too.

 

[Nerf Herder]

Drivers so far
Nerf Herder: Lilyfield (room for one more)
Fatman: Hornsby
Oddjob: North Syd
Aaronzor: Baulkham Hills

Please contact the driver closest to you and arrange a lift directly

finmtb training it from Blacktown.

Rockydog and JP will meet us at Woodford.

Eggyolkeo is out (for a couple years me thinks ) with the impending birth of the twins ... Yeeehaaaa

Oddjob, Fatman, Aaronzor ...
I reckon OddJob and Aaron you guys just head straight to Woodford ...
Fatman, I'll meet you at Glenbrook, 7ish ... (I'm picking up @ Glebe @ 6 so should be at GB by then) ... meet at the train station carpark.

On the trip backup, you [Fatman] can take all the drivers back to woodford for car pickup and passengers can relax & mind the rigs until we get back ?

The bad news is, I'm not sure what JP and Rockydog are doing [I'll PM'd them as well as this post]?? you could have 5 passengers depending on these two guys ??? Anyway ... what you think ?

Everybody else ... meet at the carpark at Woodford station ... 7.30am
Any stragglers, call me on my mob if you want us to wait a couple minutes.

 

[bipyjamas]

Looks like its going to be a good day out, looking forward to it

 

[Fatman]

I have a sedan and can take another 4, only 2 more bikes than mine though. Either way I don't mind, I'll meet you all (or whoever) at Glenbrook carpark at 7am, Al I have your number if anything goes awry.

 

[Oddjob]

Allright guys, this is the deal. I rooted my calf up on Friday half way into my 10k run. It's not fully 100% so I'll have to give it a miss. I am finishing work at Penrith at about 7am and am heading up the mountains so I can stop at Glenbrook and give guys a lift up to Woodford. I can take 4 people plus bikes ( I have a dual cab ute!!!). Should make it up to Woodford by 7:30am. Let me know.

Mobile is 0410628934.

Hope that Calf heals ... that'll teach you to excercise. maybe next time.
