Ballan to Geelong via Meredith & Steiglitz (~87km)
**Ride**: A weekday ride we last did in Sept '24 that should have good tailwinds for much of it.
We catch the Southern Cross **9:16 Wendouree** Vline train arriving **Ballan 10:20** then cycle 36km to **Meredith** for lunch and 50km after lunch, via historic gold mining town of **Steiglitz,** to **Geelong** and probably arriving mid afternoon for another Vline trip back to Melbourne. Geelong trains will be **20** minutes apart then.
*More information on Steiglitz :*
*[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steiglitz,_Victoria](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steiglitz,_Victoria)*
*The 5:20 pm finish time assumes we get the 4:15 train from Geelong but it could be the 4:35 (arrives SC 5:40)*
If people wish, we can do some extra kms in Geelong to bring our total up to 100km. Or go for coffee instead.
Both Vline morning and afternoon train journeys take only 1 hour, so not a long train trip.

Dinner at the Union Club Hotel $20 deposit
Tucked away in the back streets of Fitzroy is The Union Club Hotel. Located on the corner of Gore and Webb Streets, the Union is a landmark old school corner pub and a true local. Come and enjoy some great pub food with us and what's most likely going to be a cold winter's night.
Hopefully they'll have their open fire going to add to the atmosphere.
What are you waiting for?
Still not sot sure? Why not check out their menu.

A $20 non refundable deposit is required for this event and will be refunded on the night.
The deposit will be required 48 hours from RSVPing to the event or you will be moved removed from the event.
Please make payment to the following account only if you are on the going list.

Account 150808654
Please let me know once payment is made. PLEASE USE YOUR NAME AND VENUE AS YOUR REFERENCE.
Please only RSVP to an event if you fully intend to show. Pulling out of a dinner or another booked event (with a venue) on the day is a kick in the teeth for both the venue and the organiser. I understand there are instances where this is unavoidable, but you are short changing the venue on the revenue they are reliant upon, especially when it comes to paying their staff. It may be too late to rebook those tables with other patrons. Not to mention the stress this puts the organisers under.
Please be considerate.

[Ticketed Event](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/jun-14-run-club-x-pun-gainz-move-connect-meet-at-albert-tickets-1990309261579?aff=oddtdtcreator)
Hosted by KISMETRIX \| True Connection in collaboration with Pun & Gainz
📍 Meeting Point: Boatshed Cafe, 3 Aquatic Drive, Albert Park VIC 3206
📅 Sunday, 14 June 2026
🕘 Please arrive by **8:45 AM** — we start at 9:00 AM sharp
⏱ 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM
🎽 Dress Code: Comfortable activewear or running shoes
☕ **Ticket includes 1 standard hot beverage after the run**
#### **SOME OF THE BEST CONVERSATIONS HAPPEN MID-STRIDE.**
There's something about moving together that breaks down walls faster than any icebreaker ever could. The rhythm of a run. The fresh air. The shared effort. The way conversation just... flows.
That's exactly why we created this.
Kismetrix has teamed up with **Pun & Gainz** — Melbourne-based personal trainers who believe fitness is as much about community as it is about movement — for our first ever **Run Club Social** at the beautiful Albert Park Lake.
This isn't a race. It isn't a gym class. It's a relaxed, social Sunday morning run for singles who want to meet real people, in real life, doing something they actually enjoy.
#### **🏃 WHAT TO EXPECT**
* A PT-led warm up to get you moving and feeling good before we set off
* A relaxed run around Albert Park Lake (approx. 3–4 km) at your own pace
* Natural pace groups form as you go — runners with runners, walkers with walkers, and everything in between
* A supported walk/run option for those who prefer a gentler pace — you're in good company and you'll still see the whole lake
* Everyone meets at the Boatshed Cafe at the end — this is where the morning really comes alive
* Hot drink included, conversation flows naturally, no awkward formats needed
* Coming solo is completely normal — most people do
#### **💛 WHO THIS IS FOR**
This event is for singles who:
* Enjoy being active and want to meet people in a natural setting
* Are curious about running or already love it — all paces genuinely welcome
* Prefer real-life connection over dating apps and loud venues
* Want to be part of a growing community, not just attend a one-off event
* Are open to friendship, connection, or something more — without it being the whole point
All adult singles welcome, across a wide range of ages. Come solo — most people do.
#### **✨ ABOUT THE COLLABORATION**
Pun & Gainz are Melbourne personal trainers who bring energy, expertise, and genuine warmth to every session. They believe the best workouts happen when people feel good together — and that's exactly what Kismetrix is built on.
Two communities. One Sunday morning. A shared belief that showing up — in fitness and in life — is where everything begins.
#### **📋 WHAT TO BRING**
* Comfortable running or walking shoes
* Water bottle
* Sunscreen & a light layer (June mornings can be crisp)
* An open, easy-going mindset 💛
#### **🎟️ [TICKETS](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/jun-14-run-club-x-pun-gainz-move-connect-meet-at-albert-tickets-1990309261579?aff=oddtdtcreator)**
🌿 Introductory Price: $10
🌿 Introductory Last minutes Price: $20
— includes 1 standard hot beverage after the run.
*This is our first Run Club Social with Pun & Gainz. Introductory pricing reflects that — and won't last.*
#### **🔔 IMPORTANT NOTES**
* Adults only, singles welcome across all ages
* No children or dogs — this helps keep the space comfortable and social for everyone
* Please arrive by 8:45 AM — we move off at 9:00 AM and cannot hold the group
* Tickets are non-refundable but transferable
* This is a social connection experience — outcomes are never guaranteed
* Kismetrix reserves the right to manage attendance to ensure a respectful, welcoming environment for all

Mt Kilimanjaro Trek! One of the 7 Summits. Join us on this bucket list adventure
**Our Meetup is off to another hiking adventure! Mt Kilimanjaro, as the tallest mountain in Africa, is included in the 7 Summits of the world.**
**It is a bucket-list item for all hard-core hikers and mountain lovers.**
We did this trek with Meetup in the summer of 2024 and it was a true experience of a lifetime (see photos below)
Let's get to some numbers. It is 5,895m/19,340ft
BUT . . . our starting elevation for the trek is 3795m/12541ft
As such elevation gain is 2100m/6799ft
To compare Everest Base Camp trek, is about 2754m/9035ft elevation change. And Mt Whitney is about 1828m/6000ft elevation change.
The key to being able to succeed in this endeavor lays in the route and the support system.
We are taking the Lemosho Route via the Northern Circuit. The Northern Circuit route is the longest and newest of the seven established Kilimanjaro routes. It's one of the best routes because it has the best acclimatization profile. This results in one of the highest summit success rates. Add to that stunning views, and comparatively relaxed pace. It is also much less crowded than the other Kilimanjaro routes.
As far as our support system: We will be accompanied by experienced guides, porters and cooks. They are certified, ensuring our safety and comfort. Porters will carry our gear.
We will have a high ratio of guides to hikers. Our guides will go our pace and support each and everyone of us, regardless of fitness level and pace. In other words...you go your own speed and we all get there safe.
More about our trek/trip.
As with all our international trips, we picked the best season/time of year to go for weather and wildlife. Lemosho and Northern Circuit is a scenically spectacular and varied route. At the lower elevations it has an abundance of wildlife such as elephant, buffalo, eland and lion which come over to forage during dry season.
**Each of our trips is personally crafted to offer the best places and best use of time.**
*But I don't have the needed gear?!*
You don't need much more than the standard trekker's equipment. We will provide you with a list of what is already included and what can be rented there.
*Does this include food?*
All meals on the trek potion are included and a cook travels with us!
*What is lodging like?*
We are sleeping in new and comfortable tents (carried during the day by porters)
*I am new at this.*
That's OK. We do plenty of prep Zooms before we depart. And in California we have a number of local outdoor day or weekend outings you can test out with us.
*How dangerous is this? What if I get sick or hurt?*
We will be walking on an established, well used trail the entire time. **Our trip INCLUDES emergency insurance.** We are also Certified Wilderness First Responders and our guides are members of (AMREF) Flying Doctor.
**Plain and simple, safety is our primary goal.**
*How much does this cost?*
**Kilimanjaro Mountain Trek $3950 per person, double occupancy. Land only (airfare not included). Solo supplement $600**
Trip Cost includes:
\- 9 nights accommodation
\- 3 meals everyday on the trek
\- All Fees & Entrances and Taxes
\- Camping equipment such as tents\, tables\, chairs\.
\- Lead Guide\, Assistant Guides\, Porters and Cook

Join our weekly walking meetup to have fun, maintain a healthy lifestyle, meet new people, and enjoy nature! We meet Saturdays at 10am, by the bike racks and benches 150 feet in front of BUBBLES Hair Salon in Reston, leaving no later than 10:05.
Every week we'll walk the Green Trail to Lake Anne Plaza (\~1 mile), pause there for 5-10 minutes (water, bio, and from April-Nov a Farmer's Market), then circle the lake (2 miles) before returning to our starting point. It's roughly 3.5 miles and takes about an hour and a half.
Afterwards, some members will often head to a local restaurant to refuel and relax before tackling the rest of the day.
This event is open to all ages and fitness levels, and both friends and dogs are always welcome! We recommend dressing for the weather (umbrella, water bottle, snow shoes, hat, etc.) since we'll always walk, rain or shine.
By signing up, you accept and assume all risks and responsibilities with this activity, and nobody will be held liable.
