weird. i dated a girl that lived on ravena road.
I hope a lot of people will show up. A well known cyclist died here in Brisbane after being hit by a car on one of the most popular early morning training climbs last year. 300 cyclists showed up for a memorial ride through Brisbane's inner city suburbs. It's good to create awareness amongst cyclists and motorists to reduce these very sad accidents.
