**🚲 Eat, Drink & Dance Melbourne: The “Not‑Really‑a‑Cyclist” Bike Adventure**! A super‑chill trial ride for absolute beginners, wobbly riders & the bike‑curious. Give yourself and hour or two to go from wobbly to having a quick ride around some of Melbourne! For people without a bike try the city based bike hire company[Blue Tongue Bikes (Rental and Tours)](https://bluetonguebikes.com.au/) Or bring your own. Ready to see Melbourne from a whole new angle—the bike seat angle—without needing Lycra, fitness, or any idea what “cadence” means? This playful warm‑up ride is designed especially for people who don’t ride bikes… but like the idea of cruising, chatting, laughing, and discovering the city at a very easy pace. Think of it as: Eat. Drink. Dance. Pedal (gently). **🌟 Where We Begin** We’ll meet at Blue Tongue Bikes, Batman Park (King St & Flinders Lane). If you don’t have a bike—no worries! You can hire one there for a few hours, or grab an e‑bike from other spots around the city. If you need to hire a bike please get there 30 to 60 minutes beforehand to iron out all the hiring details with the shop or hire a bike the day before if you go elsewhere. Just make sure you’ve had a little practice beforehand so you’re not learning from scratch on the day (unless you enjoy chaos, in which case… bold choice). 🌟 **What We’re Doing** This is a 5 km-ish practice loop around Fishermans Bend, a flat, friendly circuit perfect for building confidence. We’ll roll back into Batman Park at the end—smiling, slightly sweaty, and feeling very Melbourne. If the group is feeling good, we might extend the adventure toward St Kilda or nearby paths. Totally optional, totally vibe‑dependent. 🌟** **Why We’re Doing It**** This is the warm‑up for a bigger 30+ km Capital City Trail ride happening about a week later. Think of this as the “first date” before the “proper date.” **🌟** Who It’s For**** - New riders - Nervous riders - Social riders - People who haven’t touched a bike since primary school - People who want to see Melbourne’s gorgeous bike paths without pressure - People who want to meet fun humans and enjoy the city in a new way 🌟 **What to Bring** - A helmet (non‑negotiable) - Water - A sprinkle of road‑rule awareness (we’ll mostly stick to bike paths) - Your best “I‑might‑fall‑over-but-I’m‑still‑having-fun” attitude Good idea to bring a lock for the bike **🌟 Pace & Vibe** Super easy. Super social. Zero ego. If you’re a bit clutzy, that’s fine—we’ve all been there. We’ll help you out, cheer you on, and keep things relaxed.

Ready to add some rhythm to your week? Join us for a **FREE Salsa class** right in the heart of Melbourne! No partner or experience needed — just bring your energy, and we’ll handle the rest. You’ll learn the basic steps, meet amazing people, and have a ton of fun while moving to Latin beats. ✨ **What to expect:** * Easy, step-by-step instruction — perfect for first-timers * A fun and welcoming community * Great music, great vibes, and maybe a new obsession! 📍 **Location:** 600 Little Collins St, Melbourne CBD (The Salsa Foundation Studio) 🕕 **When:** Multiple sessions weekly — book your spot now! 🎟️ **Cost:** 100% Free — bookings are essential due to limited space

🌿 **The Social Stroll Plan** Date & Time: 27 December, 1pm Start/Finish: Rushall Station car park (station entrance) Distance/Duration: ~10km, ~3 hours (leisurely pace with stops) 🚶 **Segment 1: Rushall Station → Merri Creek Circuit** - Kick off with a flirty, social vibe—think light banter and playful “post‑Christmas detox” jokes. - The Merri Creek bushland offers shaded paths, bird calls, and a gentle warm‑up for the legs. - Incorporate a “Grievance Alignment Chart” moment: everyone shares one funny holiday grievance (too much pudding, awkward family karaoke) as a satirical ritual. 🌊 **Segment 2: Merri Creek → Dights Falls (Yarra Bend Park)** - Arrive at Dights Falls, where the Yarra cascades over the historic weir. - Pause for a mini‑ritual: “Dance of the Falls”—a playful group stretch or sway, channeling the Eat Drink Danc ethos. Yoga instructors wanted otherwise we'll learn Gangnam style dancing from a Kpop YouTube video. This certainly assists in my attempt to start a Korean boy band! - Snap group photos with the falls as backdrop—badge‑worthy material for your satirical campaign kits. ☕ **Segment 3: Dights Falls → Studley Park & Studley Park Boathouse** - Meander through Studley Park picnic areas, weaving in bushland and river views. - Arrive at the Studley Park Boathouse for coffee, snacks, and a cheeky toast to “post‑Xmas drop tour hair and relax vibes.” - Suggested ritual: “Compliance Log of Indulgence”—each person logs their chosen snack as part of the satirical kit. 🌳 **Segment 4: Return via Yarra Bend → Rushall Station** - Stroll back along the Yarra Bend bushland, soaking in late‑afternoon light. - Close with a “Re‑Education Pamphlet” reflection: what indulgence will you drop before the Kokoda prep walk? - Finish at Rushall Station car park, energized but relaxed. 🎭 **Thematic Layering** - Eat Drink Danc Melbourne spirit: playful rituals, spontaneous stretches, satirical mottos. - Post‑Christmas vibes: light detox humor, relaxed pace, indulgence logs. - Preparation for Kokoda 1000 Steps (Jan 4): - Treat this as a training stroll—steady pace, mindful breathing, light climbs and dumb jokes and an attempt to create a bachelorette style recruitment drive for groupies for the Korean boy band I'm planning without the swimsuit competition. - Encourage group camaraderie: “If we can laugh through 10km, we can climb 1000 steps.” 🪧 **Suggested Motifs & Slogans** - “Falls, Feasts & Footsteps” – motto for the day. - Badges: - Commissar of Coffee (for the first to order at the boathouse) - Dance Marshal of Dights (for leading the falls stretch) - Studley Snack Auditor (for logging indulgences) --- This stroll becomes more than a walk—it’s a social satire circuit, a playful ritual of bushland, falls, coffee, and camaraderie, all while gently prepping for the Kokoda 1000 steps climb and walk next week
