Friday night is a good night for a hash because you never know where the evening will go and if it's an epic disaster you don't have worry about being late for work the next day.
As it happened, this was not an epic disaster, just a very satisfying hash. Lachie came over to my house in Kensington and we proceeded on our respective bicycles (his a single-speed mine a geared road bike since my fixy had a flat) down Moonee Ponds Creek, along the Docklands and up the Yarra River towards Gardiners Creek bike trail. The full moon over the city illuminated our path and the quiet, quarantined streets provided us with a great calm.
Here we met up with Lachie's sister Laura who rode with us along Gardiners Creek, past her house near the hash and then onto the old Alamein Line extension suburban rail trail. It wasn't long before we'd arrived at the hash point so we ditched our bikes and did our little hash dance to get to the exact point (all staying outside 1.5m from one another of course).
Having hashed, we sat down to drink the beers we'd brought with us. We talked about our greatest regrets, which were all geohash-related naturally. When it got cold we got up and rode home, stopping by the new level crossing removal bridge over Toorak Rd near Laura's place to see it in action as the trains crossed over it.
Lachie and I rode the rest of the way home along the same route, getting back a bit after 10pm.
