Ride Registrations We have now simplified this process from an 8 step (when is this going to end) to just 3 buttons to press to register for a ride. We have removed the need to sign a waiver on each ride as you have already covered this aspect each time you renew your Club membership. So,..please Register before the ride for each Club ride,…Thank you.
Bike Servicing. Last year I raised the issue of a Bike Service that we found excellent. So recently I had two of my bikes serviced by a not for profit bike workshop, the Salvos in Redhill. The service guy was Jonathan the former lead mechanic at 99 Bikes Everton Park. Just putting it out there that this review may interest some of you. Also noting that BBTA and I do not receive any benefit from providing this recommendation.
Next Month Peter Brennan’s Ballina to Casino Tour is down for the weekend of 13th and 14th September and Registrations are still open. Two beaut days of riding with a fabulous social time to enjoy. Please consider.
And Ian Chant’s Killarney Loop rides are down for Thursday 4th and Friday 5th September for likewise, a great couple of days of riding through the Condamine Gorge and also another day in some great Aussie bush.
And Jerseys – some people have been asking how to get a club jersey. The minimum order requirements is 5 so if you are interested in buying one please let us know. Once we have the numbers we’ll open up our jersey shop on the clubs web page and let everyone know.
Well, thats it for now,..
