Saturday Arvo Brighton Fish and Chips with Elwood swim. Easy Social.
Saturday Arvo Brighton Fish and Chips. 13 km. Easy Social.
Itโs Valentineโs Day so bring your beau along for a surprise.
Weโll meet at โTime Outโ, Fed Square, for a chilled Mocktail at 4pm, then departing along the new segregated bike lane along leafy well shaded St Kilda Road.
Weโll get on to the Fitzroy Street St Kilda segregated trail via the pedestrian underpass, then the Bayside trail.
Remember to bring your bathers if the weather is hot and weโll stop at Elwood Beach for a quick refreshing dip.
Some streets through to St. Andrews Church where there is a public eating area.
The Tank, Fish and Chips is nearby.
After dinner, the ride tends to fragment with many riders choosing to return via the train from Middle Brighton Station.
However, if the day has been hot then returning via the Bayside trail to Port Melbourne Trail then Jeffs Shed is very pleasant.
What to bring:
If the weather is hot then bring plenty of water, electrolytes and bathers.
Also bike lights because it may be getting dark as you head home, however, this is a social ride so thatโs probably about it.
The route can be viewed on ride with GPS and itโs always handy to download the route before the ride:
[https://ridewithgps.com/routes/45382674](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/45382674)
RIDE REGISTRATION FORM

It's your responsibility to check the temperature and distance for the day and carry an appropriate amount of water. When riding outside suburbia remember that carrying too much water is better than not enough as the distances between water availability may vary greatly from the planned route due to road closures or other unforeseen circumstances.
Check Meetup for any changes the day before the ride, as the ride may be cancelled in the event of extreme weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
If you cannot make it to the ride please change your RSVP to 'NO' at least one day before the ride day.

Fun Friday: EPiC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT at Lennox Phoenix Theater!
Join us for something different as we get together to see EPIC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT! While researching his 2022 film, director Bas Luhrmann came across and compiled rare and previously unseen interviews and videos of Elvis in concert to create โone of the most exciting concert films youโve ever seen!โ Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Part documentary, part concert film, the latest from director Bas Luhrmann is a follow-up to his 2022 film starring Austin Butler. While researching the film, he came across 68 boxes of previously unseen interviews, concert performances and outtakes from previous films. A combination of offstage and onstage Elvis, comes a film that โbefits the magnitude of Elvis as a performer but also offers deeper revelations of his humanity and inner life." It is written/directed by Baz Luhrmann (ELVIS, MOULIN ROUGE, THE GREAT GATSBY) and stars the legendary Elvis Presley!
TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmqWusmzp0k
BUZZ AND ACCLAIM: The film screened at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival where it was the runner up in the category Peopleโs Choice Award for Documentaries. Next Best Picture says, โCertain to energize longtime fans and generate new ones for generations to come, EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert is a masterwork of montage.โ And according to the NY Post, whether you have a room in the house devoted to Elvis or not, this truly โEpicโ concert film is an energizing experience!โ
PLAN: Weโll plan for a pre-show bite at nearby BRAVO around 5 or 5:30pm followed by a 7pm-ish showing on one of their larger screens. Once showtime is announced, advance ticket purchase is advised. Please list your seat number in the Comments below. Exact showtime and meeting details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer.
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
French conversation at La Chatelaine in Worthington.
This event is 2:30 - 4pm Sunday.
Conversation tends toward intermediate/advanced, but everybody is welcome.
If you come and don't see us right away, keep looking. We could be anywhere in the restaurant.
Trivia Thursdays with Marquis!
Thursdays just got smarter (and sassier). ๐ง ๐ป Join us at TownHall Short North for Trivia Night with Marquisโwhere the questions are fun, the competition is friendly, and the vibes are immaculate. Grab your crew, sip something good, and prove you know random facts you absolutely shouldnโt.
Saturday Mornings @ East Market
Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating.
Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. If the weather cooperates we will be meeting in the patio.
Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who want to discuss international travel and culture, and anyone who enjoys getting together for good conversations."
