The bridal bouquet is captured by a surprising character.

Hash House Harrier Cycle Pub-Crawl

Gattica hooked us up with the Belconnen Hash House Harrier group for a bicycle pub-crawl that covered 12 venues from Zeirholtz in Fyshwick through to O'Malley's in Civic. Here, I pull in to our third stop.

Jen and Kirsty pose at the Kingston Hotel. We hadn't seen any rain yet, but we were about to. Incidentally, women on bicycles are serious traffic hazards. A car ran up the back of another while watching girls ride by!

From H3

Our most up-market stop was at the Belgian Beer Cafe.

Our group passed close by parliament house in our approach to the Commonwealth bridge.

Our eleventh stop saw us at Mooseheads and still going kind-of strong.

Jenny obliged this hen and Phil's curiosity was piqued. I also made a donation to the hen's party collection.

From H3

In typical Mooseheads style, the dancing was... flamboyant! We took pints at our last stop and wobbled our way home. Gatt, however, kept rocking out and I haven't seen him since!*

*He did update his blog, though.

Yass Races 2009

Marchmont racecourse held the 108th annual Yass race meeting. Jenny and I made the short trip over with a few friends for the rather warm day. Thankfully, we were situated in a shady spot just up from the finish-line. Most races started out-of-view behind a hill in the middle of the field so that it was quite a surprise to have the steeds come 'round the corner and find out how your wager was faring.

Tracey and I made our big win on the fourth race, the Ravensworth Cup, having backed a six-year-old charcoal gelding named Scutt.

Here, the girls take it easy under the dappled light at our party-site.

Amazingly, Jen captured the moment that this champagne cork rocketed from the bottle.

Rimsy, having looked to make up some lost ground, settles for watching Megoz Lass come home in forth place.
