Stephanie and Geoff led the year’s last Saturday ride, with around 20 cyclists riding to Panache at Waurn Ponds for coffee. Once there they entertained the passers by with a lively rendition of Doug’s club specific version of The Pushbike Song:
“Christmas Pushbike Song”
Riding along on my pushbike buddy
Ridin’ on the Barwon with you
Riding around on a Saturday morning
Lookin’ at the river view.
You looked so happy
As you were riding along.
You looked so happy
As we were singing this song.
Well I put on the speed
And I tried catching up
But you were pedalling harder too.
Riding along like a hurricane buddy
Spinning out of view.
You looked so happy
As we were riding along.
You looked so happy
As we were singing this song.
Sing this song.
Round round wheels going
Round round round
Down up pedals
Down up down
But I got to get around
The River Ride
Before coffee time
Hey, hey!
Now we’re coming up close to Christmas Day
With the year now in review
I’m thinkin’ of all my bicycle buddies
Yes, every one of you
You looked so happy
As we were riding along.
You looked so happy
As we were singing this song.
Sing this song
Round round wheels going
Round round round
Down up Pedals going
Down up down
Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!
