Now onto matters at hand. In Melbourne, this Friday 24 Feb, we’re having a informal meeting down at Goat in Burnley. Probably make it later as I’m helping with a fund raiser for yet another project, the Melbourne Aeolian Ride. For those who came in late, it’s on again … 6.30pm+ Warehouse 1, 18 River Street Richmond. (entrance is on North Street just by the corner of Clarke St) Goat Management allows your trusty bike to be parked inside the premises & the doorbloke is very nice. As so are the wonderful staff.

Rough agenda of sorts:
- Ride of Silence + media strategy/event timeline,
- discussion of quieter venue for formal meetings every 4-6 weeks,
- Legal advice for WoJ, contacts etc
- Contacting/Involvement for the Amy Gillett-Safe Foundation,
- Possible Alexis or Warren ‘cheersquad’ for the Comms Games. A bit silly, but why not huh?

Detailed discussion via a.b if you’re prepared to read through it all :: Ride Of Silence 2006 :: Australian Story: One Perfect Day :: Driver license test - questions about peds & cyclists?

The Ride of Silence is also being organised for Brisbane, so how’s the enthusiasm levels or amount of interest in other states? The sheer energy behind the Adelaide WoJ ride last May really did inspire three other capital cities to organise their own rides, so lets utilise similiar energy and motivation for the Ride of Silence. With more focus, research, planning, awareness and media savvy - we can do it!
