For those who aren't sure where Australia is (and it is
NOT next to Switzerland) it's on the left back pocket
of the snazzy new Bike
Friday jersey! And just as Eugene is the BF Epicenter
in USA, Adelaide is the BF Epicenter in Australia. It's
where the whole idea happened six years ago to form the
Australian Bike Friday® Club (ABFC).
Since then, some other countries have adopted the idea but Adelaide was the very
first. Look for Adelaide's location on the left back pocket of the BF jersey.
Each year, Adelaide has a marvelous international road cycling race called Tour
Down Under. On the final day of TDU recently, there were nine Bike Friday®s
among the crowd, cycling together to watch the final criterium in the city streets.
Four were ridden by owners from Vermont and California, one was ridden by a Swiss,
and the rest were ABFC people who wanted to see the race. The official television
race commentator for TDU was Phil Liggett who does that so expertly each year
for Tour de France. He has a Pocket Rocket and is a Patron of ABFC.
ABFC will meet in April in Mudgee, New South Wales and
we are looking forward to having Hanz with us again for
that famous annual gathering of rides, food and fun. Get
Pudgee in Mudgee is our motto. Hanz cannot wait to come
either. Feel free to join us. For info about 2003, see
the notice on the Bike
Friday Event Calendar or e-mail
