ATB No Bibs!

[EuanB]

Hubby asked me to post and let you know that there are no bibs for ATB
(Around the Bay). They are handing out wristbands instead. :) He
suggests getting down there today to make sure you get a wristband.
Apparently the bibs weren't ready in time.

far out... what a shamozzle.... I got a phone message last night,
saying that they would not have bibs for me today and that I should not
come in until Friday... maybe on Friday they will be handing out dog
tags ? Well should be interesting anyway!

Personally I think we should all have our rumps branded. Then at the
ferry we'dhave to all drop our knicks in order to get lunch and the
ferry ticket.

That would be a pain in the ass for two reasons if you wear bib and
brace knicks.

It's worse than that; BV are taking the details of people who have
been issued a wrist band and will mail the bibs to those people as soon
as they become available! Dunno how many turned up today to pick up
their stuff but that's gotta be a serious amount of cash even if they
get bibs in tomorrow to hand out.

Think I'm going to wear a bib if it gets to me in time? Not fscking
likely. Should have been wrist bands from the get go. Snutting bibs,
fsck that.

I don't get it. What's the point of mailing them out after the event?

arh well, they'll save a few dollars with using volunteers.

I wonder if the lunches will be supplied in especally printed paper
bags (lucky rain is not forecasted).

The idea is that the bibs /might/ get to us before the event so could
we /please/ wear them if they do.

Not snecking likely!

Souvenirs, I suspect. Not that I'd want such a souvenir; I'd probably
just chuck it into the bin.

Kinda like I did with that GVBR video that was foisted upon me some
years ago. Never watched it, never intended to.

I wonder if the Romans had such problems in their quest for world

My wife, Suzie. I'm gradually edging her towards cycling; heaven help
me when she does take to it though as she's borderline obsessive
compulsive :-)

Err, to explain further:

Hubby == Husband == me (Euan)

Wifey == Wife == Suzie.

Hopefully that's all clear :-)

So, some days your Euan and some days your 'Suzie'. got it.

No, that's the first time Suzie's used my login and she only did
'cause I asked her to. Unfortunately I was offline yesterday so it's
the only way I could think of to get the message out about wristbands
for ATB instead of bibs.

BTW, for those wanting to find the finish area (or direct love ones to
it for a lift home...)

The directions refer to "Piggot St and North Wharf Rd".

Slight problem with that as Piggot St hasnt existed for over a year now
:rolleyes:

Its called something obscure like... BOURKE ST!!!!!!!!!!!!

The lucky one's got wristbands and the unlucky got bibs. I just put
mine on and what a pain it will be exspecially on the front.

Bummer. It would be a good idea to put a written complaint in and
encourage others to do so as well. Bibs are a total nonsense when wrist
bands do the same job much better.

They're just like race numbers - no problems at all to
put one on the back. The front however, is not happening
on my jersey. If they demand to see a front number (and they won't ...
but just in case) I have mine on my musette :)

weather forecast is amazingly good ... I hope it's as nice next
week for the Warny!
