BBQ

The December bike ride was an unmitigated success! 15 riders took part in a Port Melbourne - Brighton ride, most returning with the peloton to dine at our regular spot, Hot Honey on Armstrong St. We had a beautiful day and only suffered one minor mishap early on when a non-SD rider nudged one of our number to the ground. No first aid was necessary, however, and everybody continued on bravely.

Next event is a Sporty Dykes Midsumma BBQ at Catani Gardens on 31 January. Bring your frisbee, baseball/softball glove/ball, cricket gear, soccer ball, or just a nice blanket for a day of general sportiness. Provide your own provisions and get ready for a terrific day in St Kilda!

Also set your diaries for 28 February when Sporty Dykes are taking their second road trip. This time we're headed to Ocean Grove for a day in the surf. We've rented 6 beginners' surf boards and there will be experts on hand providing lessong. Many of us will also have our own bodyboards on hand. Afterwards one of our local members in Ocean Grove is allowing us to use her garden for a bbq so it should be a lovely day!! Perhaps carpooling for the event can be arranged at the January bbq...
