I'm always on the bike, it's the commuter.... Group rides in the mountains is probably when you wanna know each other, posing down the beach isn't a big deal. Unless of course there's a nutjob in the group.
I reckon we meet at pier 35, 263 lorimer st, port melbourne (it's on the yarra). Quiet place, no waiting, no parking issues, have a chat, talk rubbish, drink coffee, point at random bike parts then go for a squirt.
