Tues Ride - Opportunity for Fame

Hi All,

Tourism Victoria is currently shooting video footage for their photo library, and are planning to record some cycling on Tuesday morning (July 7) from 7:15 to 7:30 a.m.

I'm wondering if anyone is interested in doing an extra little loop at the end of our regular morning ride or adding on to the middle portion of the ride so we finish along the water a little later???

They will be allowed to start filming at 7:15, and there are a couple of options: if we finish our usual ride, then turn around at Shoal Point, they can pick us up along the water, then follow us up toward the golf course (i.e., the reverse direction of our usual ride). OR, we could delay the ride a little so that we don't come through the golf course until 7:15 or 7:20ish.

Please let me know if you can participate - I need to have an idea about whether or not we'll have enough people. Maybe we can discuss on Friday and see what people prefer. Please feel free to post your thoughts here on the forum.

Imagine seeing the big line of TripleShot kits on the big screen. Exciting, huh?

Thanks!
Jeff

I am in, plus if I am on the front it will be some of the best video ever taken. What can I say I am beautiful!

sounds like fun we could do an extra lap of the golf course by the u (total 3 or 4 depending on timing) and then finish our normal water front

thinking of the light do they want us riding intothe rising sun or with the light dehind us? will make a difference to the plan

Hi Everyone,

Due to the anticipated crappy weather tomorrow, Tourism Victoria has changed their plan, and now has the helicopter booked for FRIDAY. Hence, don't worry about looking too pretty tomorrow - save it for Friday morning. We'll keep the same plan for the new day (i.e., finish our regular ride at Shoal Point, then turn around and have the helicopter find us along the water around 7:15.

Thanks!
Jeff

Hey everyone, make sure you wear your TripleShot kit for the photo op. Pete will be the exception, wearing a yellow Jersey and looking positively Lance-like. It's ok, we understand....
