get ready to buzz!

there is excitement mounting and it is all go-go-go! the jacarandas are out and to us, there is no more beautiful time to be out and about, running and walking through brisbane! tomorrow we will be buzzing!
the plan is still the same- our meeting point is the southbank side of the goodwill bridge- be there ready to go at 6pm, rain, hail or shine! look out for other running, walking, smiling types!
this weeks routes will see the runners start with a 6km city loop and the walkers with an out and back of about 3-4km. the finishing point for both will be back at the goodwill bridge, which is also, conveniently, next to the ship inn for a drink, chat and cool-down post-exercise.
in other news, this week we are pleased to announce our charity for november. each month we will ask for nominations for the next monthly charity via our facebook page but this month we are getting on board with The Cancer & Bowel Research Trust. they work nationally on funding research and running awareness campaigns to help in early detection and prevention in colorectal cancer and their brisbane base is just around the corner from our own buzz base, in south brisbane. you can read about their work here: http://www.cancerresearch.org.au/  $1 from every $2 session you do will go to them in november so tell your friends to help out by coming along for a run or walk after their melbourne cup lunches tomorrow- what better way to spend your winnings?!
for those coming straight from work and needing a bag store, southbank has lockers available for $4/ 3hrs near their streets beach. there is info on their website: Http://www.visitsouthbank.com.au/visitor_information2/services perhaps you can team up with a few people to bring the cost down between you all :)
finally, dig out your joggers, spread the word and get ready to share the buzz with other like minded souls tomorrow. what better way great start november than with a quick spin round the river after work?
feel free to email buzz if you have any questions or concerns- but you shouldn't- this is a very light hearted, social approach to exercise with an emphasis on connecting and participating- honestly! keep an eye out for cycle details to come later in the week and for a de-brief after our first session tomorrow. look forward to meeting you all at the goodwill bridge!
buzz :)

buzz bne countdown!

buzz is getting so excited! details are being finalised and we are launching in the first week of november. yep- that is next week!
it is time to start getting the word out and telling your friends.
it is time to block time out in your diary every tuesday afternoon and every friday morning from now on, so you can get your buzz on!
next week our first run/walk will start at the southbank side of the goodwill bridge. be there, ready to head off at 6pm sharp- plenty of time to get there after work! closer to the time we will post a route on the blog (and also the location of post-workout drink spots for those so inclined!) so you can see that we mean it when we say that all abilities are welcome. there will be 2 routes- pick your poison! if you want to run it out or if you're up to a walk there will be a way for you to find your buzz.
if riding is more your thing or if you want to add some wheels to your pedestrian routine, our first ride will be friday morning, 4th november, departing 6am from the same location at the southbank side of the goodwill bridge. again, closer to the time we will post 2 routes and the post ride coffee location. if you're a leisure rider on a deadly treadlie or a lycra clad roadie there will be a buzz route for you.
for each of the events all you need is $2 and a smile.
sign up to our email list and stay tuned for our next blog post when we confirm who the first of our monthly charities will be. spread the word. pass it on. buzz!
