Okay then. Following the HUGE success of the last Strong Island Bike Ride on the April Bank Holiday, and all the amazing feedback I’ve had, I think it’s time to start thinking about the next one. I’ve initally gone for Sunday 20th September. This falls the weekend after Bestival, the day after Southsea Fest and the weekend before Love Albert Road Day. I had a short chat with Ian Parmiter and friends this week and all feel that a date near LARD all goes towards increasing that sense of community.
I’ve created another Facebook Group which I’ll use to update people. Sign up for it HERE.

Theme ideas for Bike ride?
the beginning of autumn: harvest, fruity, veggie?
Suns, Libran ( free fair, beautiful and balanced … but undecided… )
20 Sep 2009: Venus enters Virgo
At the autumnal equinox (Sept 22, 2008; 11:44:18 A.M. EDT), the Sun appears to cross the celestial equator, from north to south; this marks the beginning of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere.
Autumnal Equinox: Sept. 22, 5:18 p.m. EDT (21:18 UT*), fall begins.
I’ll be there.

I’m guessing that with Southsea Fest the day before 99% of the riders will be coming as ‘hungover’.
