week 3!

here is some bicycle love for the buzz bicycle lovers out there! start your week on a bicycle-high-buzz, courtesy the cool hunter blog and chinese artist ai weiwei.
as for us, we will be able to get our own bicycle love going again on friday morning! the buzz ride crew are getting into the swing of the 6am starts now (goodwill bridge if you haven't made it yet- all riders welcome!) and we are particularly getting into the swing of a nice little espresso and brekky catch up as a goood way to start our fridays...
walking and running is on again tomorrow (tuesday) at the regular 6pm timeslot and goodwill bridge starting point. we have been meeting at the pub at the end of the sessions for beers or soda waters- depending on your rehydration of choice!
 thanks so much to everyone who has been supporting the buzz and spreading the word- we are starting to get a nice little piggy bank going for bowel cancer research and it would be great to keep this going so we can raise as much money as possible for them in the final 2 weeks of the month. send us an email if you have ideas for who our december charity/community group should be and tell your friends- spread the word!
see you tuesday and friday to buzz around brisbane!
:)

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 :)
