Deafening silence in Brisbane. We've had two quite respectable rides
in past years, but even with postings on RoadGrime and BikeQld, no one
seems to want to step forward (I will be away). Sad. Brisbane has the
issues as much as anywhere else, but evidently has a fine tradition of
standing back. Good luck everyone else.
