Default good deed for the week

Met with Mary (BV) and Paddy (not the mad bomber. Boroondara council) at Chandler/Kew boulevard intersection this morning

Discussed installation of new 'pram' ramp leading onto the 'Goat-track' and also a totally new path from the GuideDogs carpark down to the Yarra Trail below

Special commendation goes to DaveLeong of BBUG for doing all the lobbying/legwork so I could represent the BBUG and put in my 2cents worth

Slicker-slicks on the mtb comin up now that I wont have to do the 200m off-raod anymore

The TdS is gonna smoke

Are you talking about the path from below the bridge to the
Yarrah Boulevard that comes up on the city side of the
Chandler Hwy??

That is about the most exciting part of my ride home (was
better before they actually put in the "path")......there is
something extremely satisfying about coming up that bit of
the path in the granny ring early in the morning (about
0630h), hitting the footpath at a walking pace, and then
blowing away a roadie or two between there and the top of
the hill........whahaahahah (maniacal laughter).

Ride On,

Gags

Yep. 'The Goat-track' !

Love going up it (as long as its dry. do imitations of rodent-in-wheel otherwise on my slicks)

Boy do them roadies think they are serious bears or what.
Lerv pissin em off by passing on the footpath on the way up to the pipe-bridge and watching them react and try and grind back past you, all the while making sure they dont look like they are trying

The longterm plan by council/parksVic is to keep the path riverside all the way to the pipeline bridge. but until then...
