Sounds like absolute porn with so many different types of cycling represented.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely be trying to make it there.
Especially like the sound of spectator friendly cyclocross, polo, trials, fixie drags and evne the chariot races. Awesome.

Chris,
I will be there on Friday probably attend after work. Tossing up whether to ride from Abbotsford or not. Do I need to book with you, it could get quite crowded in the cafe.
Looking forward to Friday.
Jack.

Hi Chris,
is this the same Melbourne Bicycle Film Festival you were promoting for the Human Powered Cafe or is it a different one.
Cheers, Jack.

Thanks for the welcome. Not too sure why I joined as I am not in Melb very often at all.
Still, I can read the forums I guess.
