Location

On the nature strip of Kennedy St in Keilor at night.

Participants

Expedition - Felix Dance

Matt had the absurd idea: instead of going to bed at 10pm on a work night, we'd get on our bikes, meet up, and do two consecutive geohashes overnight.

The plan as executed was to meet at the Maribyrnong River in Moonee Ponds (I mistakenly tried to meet at Moonee Ponds Creek in the federal electorate of Maribyrnong, costing us valuable minutes), ride out along the river bike path to Keilor, grab the hash on the side of the road - beering it up to celebrate, of course - and then, as midnight approached, head along the M80 Ring Road bike path towards the 2022-08-29 -37 144 geohash. And that's pretty much how it went down.

It was a beautiful night for riding, with unseasonably warm air, clear skies for which to show off Jupiter in most of its glory, and frequent plane overflights to heighten the atmosphere. Lachie did a masterful job of directing us and we met Part II of the hash in good time.
