Looking for something last minute to get dad for Father's Day??

I can personally say that every one of the items in these boxes will be a hit with Dad!

Okay... we’re officially at the “you probably need to organise Father’s Day now” stage. 😂

You’ve got just over 24 hours left to order your Dessert Nerd Favourites Box for Father’s Day.

Whether you’re giving it to Dad, Grandad, Pop or one of your favourite people... taking it along to a family BBQ, packing it for a picnic, or putting it in the middle of the table for everyone to share — dessert is sorted.

Although I make absolutely no promises that Dad will actually share. 🤣

Father’s Day boxes are $49 including local Bendigo delivery and will be delivered this Saturday, ready for Sunday.

Orders close tomorrow night at 10pm.

So if Father’s Day is still sitting on your mental “s #!t, I need to organise that” list...

This is your reminder. 💜

Hi Everyone,

Due to what has been an extremely busy week and some really crap weather, we won't be doing Brews, Bikes and BBQ tomorrow.

That said Ghettobird will still be open if you want to go for a ride to get a brew and Trashcult will still be open for a soft drink or something a little harder.

So feel free to still ride over.

We will be back for the next one.

Ride safe in this crap weather and watch out for pot holes!

See you all next month!

Well it has been one hell of a month! Filled with lots of early starts, trips into Melbourne, rides on all the machines, bloods taken and lunch on the roof top of Peter Mac. To think it's been every 3 months for the last 3 years. But I always get a room with an awesome view.

This month marks a massive milestone in a couple of ways, firstly it is 3 years since I went under the knife for my Stage 3 melanoma after undergoing an intensive couple rounds of immunotherapy as part of a new trial with the aim to teach my body to fight melanoma itself.

Secondly, it's the first time in 10 years that I have gone more than 2 years without having a melanoma somewhere.

You would think the longer we go the easier it gets but weirdly it is quite the opposite, after so many the longer it goes the more you prepare yourself for that dreaded look, the deep breath the dr makes before they go for that second look, the "Well...." Followed by the pictures drawn on a piece of paper that only a dr could really understand!

But I am still here, largely to my personal Cancer Team at Peter Mac and also because of my amazing family. The stress Renee goes through holding down the fort, keeping the wheels moving while waiting for that phone call as I head to the lifts to explain its all clear and this is what the dr say is indescribable.

So the last mile stone is moving from 3 monthly visits to 6 monthly. Although it is not really 6 months, there is still dermatologist and endocrinologist appointments mixed in along the way. It is still a major step, but with more in depth testing each time.

So if you have been wondering what has been going on, well to say we have been a little distracted this month would be an understatement.

So get your skin checked, if it's sus get it checked by a skin check clinic! The earlier you get on to it the better the outcome.

Ok Bendigo family, quick question?

Looking for recommendations for an awesome family gp! Someone who actually listens and someone you can understand!!

I am finding that at the moment most of the local Drs I have seen either think they know better than the Peter Mac Drs so try and change things like medications etc or want to start from scratch instead of reading the notes from my specialists.

Most of all I just want a dr for me and our family that we can understand when they talk and take the time to listen.

We only go to the drs once in a blue moon (yep we need to be pretty sick to actually go) but we need to set up a decent family gp.

So if you have a local dr that is awesome and would recommend please let me know...

So you may be asking what happened to the eggs??

Well right after this photo, they were collected by Daryl from Bendigo Winter Nights and then driven all around to people doing it rough!

These people might be sleeping in cars, sleeping in tents or swags in the bush or just sleeping wherever they can.

With the overwhelming amount of donations of Easter eggs, not only have we been able to give directly to those kids that are sleeping rough but also to their family!

So you have absolutely made someone's Easter and best of all you have showed that people do still care.

About 80% have been distributed, the. Last about 20% will be delivered later this evening to those sleeping in cars once they find their spot.

So once again thank you everyone!

And from all of us at Brews, Bikes and BBQ, have an awesome Easter!
