I think we can go under the M4 from Harris St to Prince St. Just that MMR won't 'see' it. A few odd things like that...
Just make sure you go with the 4-way arrow button so you can go full screen.

..... amended now. Didn't see that dark green path on the north, though should have. Thanks.
Actually, now recall doing that South St Rydalmere route years ago. Pretty quiet on weekends, being industrial.

Sunday looks OK for you guys though. If you're stopping for relief, stay clear of Belanglo State Forest.
**********
Roll-up for Saturday, at this stage:
-Joe + wife (sorry Joe, haven't met her, not sure of her name... )
-Bruce
-Quang
-myself.
AFAIK, Sunho now has something else on.
let me know if I'm missing anyone.
Joe, if you're driving, there looks to be a pretty open parking area bounded by Charles/Macquarie/Hassall Sts. Check for restrictions, if any. Reckon it should be far enough away from the Westfield activity. Probably mainly a weekday biz area.
Propose we meet at the little park cnr. Parkes and Wigram. We'll then proceed south on Wigram.
PM or SMS me with any changes.
~~~~~~
Haven't forgotten the saddle, Quang.

Will have the Giant 980c again, and the paint will turn a ghostly white in the wet. Dont want my Peugeot to rust anymore.

Only real downside was the failure of the coffee shop to produce coffee.

Bruce, thanks for the company! I got home after the ride and had a nice cuppa in my kitchen without any surliness or lack of service! It was quite nice. Maybe I'll bring a thermos along next time.
Paul, thanks for the fun ride. I even enjoyed the hike across the wooden footpath river crossing. Next time I'll bring something lighter on the shoulder. Have a great weekend!
Joe

Funnily, I'd spotted said employee setting up banner flags as we came in. Had all the signs of an 'actively disengaged employee'. Owner/proprietor nowhere to be seen I suspect.find_bruce wrote:Thanks for the ride - it was a lovely day for it. Sadly no real stories to tell - Quang was looking just a little nervous at the start, but no imitation of Munga.
Only real downside was the failure of the coffee shop to produce coffee.
Anyhoo, yes, enjoyable jaunt. Could bear repeating at some stage, without the navigational guesswork, (ahem, on my part). But no major wrong turns, amazingly enough.
...TedDancin, we eschewed the Rydalmere route due to time constraints. Grand Parade wasn't too bad; the occasional cement truck.

Apart from being unfit, overweight, and on a bike not really suited to ride the route chosen, (8spd 13- 23) I thoroughly enjoyed the whole expierence and will do another.

Many thanks to Lizanne for organising and thanks Maddy, Peter H, Peter and John J for the great time out on the road.
