I have got an old pair of size 48 Shimano Shoes in reasonable condition with
Look cleats and a set of old look pedals that I don't need any more. Might
even be able to scrounge up a couple of odd LED lights as well. I will
volunteer to be the shoe collector in Melbourne if no one else has already
done so......I commute in from Viewbank to Southbank every day and could
probably arrange pickups from either somewhere in the city at lunchtime or
within a reasonable distance of my commute home.

If Llama and Bleve want to get in touch I can probably arrange something as
I think they are both out my way.....anyone else who is keen to contribute
to the collective box of smelly shoes then let me know.

Cheers Gags. If you don't manage to hook up with the other two let me know and we can work it out... many thanks!

Luverly. Beerwolf <--- cool name

Everyone/anyone can email me domDOTsansomATgmailDOTcom for my postal address etc.

Whoever's organising the "combined post" contact me so I can arrange to pay for postage.

If you guys ever need anything from Fiji just holla! And if you're ever get over here look me up... there's always a spare bike (road or MTB) avaiable for a ride.

I'm willing to be a drop off point in Sydney, and I can do some
pickups within say 30km of the CBD.

So anyone with shoes who doesn't live well out of town let me know
where to pick them up from and I'll grab them this weekend.

Should fit 4 or 5 pairs in the box over there on the floor.

Llama's dropping his stuff off tonight to me at the Blackburn
clubrooms (Melbourne), so I can send over at least 2 pairs of shoes.

My dad was just in Fiji last week, shame, I could have sent 'em over
for free!

Hope he had a good time. There's some pretty good rates for flights and at the hotels at the moment, on account of the little coup we had before Christmas.

Eternally grateful for the shoes.
cheers

To all the Melbourne crew... the box of shoes and stuff arrived this afternoon. Great stuff guys... you are amazing!!!!!! Update on some of our cyclists. Four of them competed in New Caledonia Sunday before last. ALL got PBs. One broke the Fiji mens Olympic distance record... by THREE minutes and our only female knocked 20mins off her PB and is only 8mins outside the Fiji Womens record (only her second Olympic distance Tri)... they all say thanks for the support.

Any news from Sydney? Zebee?... anyone?

No problem... I've got a few to keep us going. When you're ready.
I think beerwolf is trying to make contact for a pick up/drop pff.

Aah geez - my memory is like a sieve these days. (has cost me a lot of money to get it in this shape!)

Zebee - can I post these shoes to you? It'd probably be easier for me, and cost me less than driving to you. PM me.

Apologies for the brain-fade Dom.

Zebee, I emailed you about my Carnacs.
I too can post them, if that's easier for you.

Umm.....If Zebee has retracted the offer of being the "mule" for the Sydney shoes, I can do it. Just PM me and i'll tell you where to send them.
