Expedition 4

Cam, Lachie and I (Felix) met at Spring Street after work at 5:10pm, next to one of the statues of General Gordon. Lachie was incredibly slow because his tire was squishy and he was riding a mountain bike, but I had to race to get home for my toddler's bath time so I was urging him along a lot.

We rode through Fitzroy and Edinburgh Gardens, then across Merri Creek and up the hill to Northcote. It was very hot and I was wearing all my work clothes.

At last we were up the hill and at the hash. We took selfies and then Laura turned up - she had been trailing us the whole time but I wouldn't let us slow down so she could catch up because of my bath time issues.

I left Laura, Lachie and Cam to go get beers while I frantically rode home, arriving with a couple of minutes to spare!

Expedition 5

Jude's partner Astrid also briefly visited the hash. It was at the same time as Expedition 6 but they didn't seem to have met.

Expedition 6

Maybe these folks got the hash after spending 3 hours at the pub? It was also Caitlin and George's first hash.
