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!
:)

keeping the community buzzing!

we had another great run/walk sesh on tuesday evening- a few newbies set a cracking pace around the river loop and an increasingly large group of walkers took in goodwill bridge, botanical gardens and south bank. we even had a furry friend, jess, to join us on the walk... and a cold drink afterwards!
thanks so much to everyone who is coming, joining the fun and spreading the buzz- these first few weeks in particular the support is much appreciated!
our regular ride is on tomorrow- 6am at goodwill bridge to give us time for a ride and a coffee for those who can hang around.
while we're spreading buzz, thought we'd share a couple of other lil local titbits with you: our friends at the westend twilight markets are launching this saturday. it's another really great community project with lots of fun and games to keep you buzzing- in a much more relaxed, week-end kind of way! if you're looking for something to keep you going, support these lovely young locals who are trying to do something great for us all! in other news, our post-cycle fuel stop has started food! hooray! and it looks delicious! come along with us for our ride tomorrow and stay for a bite or check em out over the weekend... perhaps on your way to the market?!
look forward to seeing all you riders bright and early tomorrow and remember to let us know if there are any other community secrets you want to share!
keep buzzing, team! :)

ready to go!

hope everyone made merry and enjoyed the beautiful weekend! this is just a reminder about our sessions this week.
the run/walk will take off from the goodwill bridge at 6pm on tuesday evening. we do leave on the dot so make sure you're there a little early to say hi ;) there is definitely an option for all abilities so please don't feel intimidated- you can't see me through the computer screen but i'm a complete hack myself- i think i've just become addicted to the endorphin high of running... and i like to talk while i run. sorry! :)
anyway, i have been assured by a few members that there will definitely (again) be enough this week for a run crew and a walk crew and we will all meet back afterwards for a drink and chat... plough inn this time for a change of scene (or send through any other local suggestions you might have!).
friday morning we will head off from the same goodwill meeting point at the sprightly hour of 6am. we had a great ride last week and word on the street is that pear cafe may even have brekky for us this week. again, we will have 2 loops- so you don't have do be a lycra nut to play our game!
please spread the word to those who might be interested- buzz really is just about creating a local social exercise network so we would love to see all and any of you at our sessions! please also sign up to our email list so you can get all our updates automaticallly- simply enter your email address in the top right corner of our blog.
thanks for an awesome week one last week and happy monday team. see you all on tuesday to get your sweat on!

off and racing!

last night we got our kitty going and enjoyed a fantastic run and walk through the city to launch our buzz campaign! it was such a beautiful evening to be out and about- the city was definitely buzzing as we ran through it, with melbourne cup after parties and celebrations! we buzzed on ourselves with post-run/walk chats and drinks at the ship inn.
thankyou so much to everyone who came and shared the buzz- it's so great to have started and have some money in the piggy bank for bowel cancer research.

after the run/walk success last night we are off again- come one, come all, to join us for our first ride session, this friday morning, 6am. we leave at 6 sharp so make sure you're there in time with your $2 and a smile! there will be 2 routes to cater for all fitness levels and bike types and we will all meet together at the end for chats and a caffeine hit at garage espresso, southbank. what better way to roll into the weekend?! tell your friends, spread the word and get your buzz on! :)
