| Sponsorship Gatherers A reminder that it's time to gather your sponsorship money and hand it in. All the instructions are on our Registration Page which we know you already know! Thanks for taking the time to collect and handing it in. We did it again! Congratulations to all the wonderful people who showed up for yesterday's third annual Sydney Body Art Ride. Despite the gloomy weather reports and a number of conflicting events we managed to muster 200 riders and the sun shone down on us all day. In fact the perfect weather lasted until we had finished packing the last few things back at UNSW. Then the rain came down and conveniently rinsed the left over paint off the lawn. (The Purple riders had left the biggest paint puddle) This year we had a coffee van, a veg/non veg BBQ and music. With the numbers down a bit our paint team was able to put in extra effort on giving people more elaborate designs and in the first few photos I've seen there is some great artwork. In fact the whole event was a bit more relaxed and easy to manage. This year was the first time we've had a "Sad Wagon" to pick up riders whose bikes break down and for the first time we needed one. One of the Red Team was collected and transported to the Beach. Seems like the Gods love SBAR. As organisers we were very proud of how well behaved everyone was down on the Beach. Conditions were pretty rough so everyone stayed inside the flags and didn't go in too far. Three riders were stung by blue bottles and unfortunately two of them were younger riders, all three have fully recovered and I guess we were lucky that out of 200 people only three got stung. Our youngest rider this year was seven years old (apart from the pregnant women of course) and the oldest was 60. We had the highest number of Piercings ever recorded with a rider displaying nine of them to take out the prize. We also had a new colour in our Rainbow, a group of people brought along their own white paint and added floral designs which looked fabulous. Two of the Whites took out the "Best Decorated Bike" prize with their extremely floral tandem. If you have photos please send us a disc for our exhibition and website. There are some excellent shots to look at on Jason's website at: http://users.on.net/~alexanderino/tmp/sbar/ We will add more to our usual fotopage as they come in. http://sbarhq.fotopages.com/ Thank you to everyone who came along and especially to all of our volunteers who work so hard every year to make sure we all have a great day.
