Sounds interesting, and a good excuse for a reasonable ride.  I will try and make this one.

[Streak]

if I was in town, i would like to attend this, it looks to be a bloody good day.

Can't wait to hand out all the OzSToc business cards whilst I'm in carpark duty. Real easy, one hand to issue directions and the other hand to issue cards.
The charity ride organisers (prostate cancer research) expect minimum 500 bikes to participate this year, that should be some awesome sight.
