Bike Ride

Our final event for 2009 is happening this weekend, Sunday 20 Dec, 11:30: a bicycle ride along the foreshore.

We'll meet up in Port Melbourne, near where the Spirit of Tasmania docks, the end of the 109 tram line, in front of the IGA where there is parking I believe... From there we'll ride to Brighton - about 10 km each way - and then back to Hot Honey on Armstrong St for a late lunch. If you're a road cyclist and want to continue the ride further, I'm sure you will find others who will join you! If you are new to cycling and want to turn around earlier, save us a table at Hot Honey...and don't eat all the cornbread!!

The forecast is for a picture perfect sunny 24 degrees...but we'll be out whatever the day brings! Hope to see you all there.

White Out in July

Sporty Dykes is going to the snow in July as part of the White Out festival on Mt Buller. You'll have to arrange your own activities, housing and transport. BUT, Sporty Dykes will help out by paying the White Out registration fee for the first 10 members who email me at bnyugat@hotmail.com.

Check out White Out at: http://www.whiteout.net.au/Home.html

See you at MSAC in June and then on the slopes in July!

Basketball on June 21st

We have booked basketball court #3 at MSAC from 12:30-2:00 on Sunday, June 21st. Bring along a women's sized basketball, if you have one. Or if you really want to play with the oversized men's ball, go ahead...

All skill levels welcome, from beginner to advanced. We'll see what we've got on the day and set up a half-court game, or HORSE, or just some skill development building to something for the future. Whatever we do, laughter and fun will be at the centre of it all!!

Softball success leads to Frisbee fun

Softball was great fun for the 11 women who braved the wind and rain to throw and bat. Thank you everybody who made it! We were then joined at the pub by five more women, who at least could leave their houses in the stormy weather to support the players...

Next event: Frisbee in Fitzroy Gardens - bring a frisbee or two if you have them. 11 AM, Sunday 17 May. We'll meet up behind the Conservatory, the marble statue side not the topless Diana side. Unless it's raining, in which case we'll head right to the Pavilion restaurant and play once it's stopped actively falling.
