And one you don't see every day:
And an e-bay steel! (the chain looks fine here):
And the group who braved early morning wake-ups to participate in a great 30 km ride along some of best bike paths in Sydney:
Thanks Paul and John for leading yet another great ride.
Joe

Plenty of parking Mahony Reserve (Wharf St Marrickville). Enough time to toss it around. If that's too inner west for Andy, Quang, am still happy to go out your way a bit. Another option is the Tempe Rec Reserve for start point. Plenty parking, again, but advantage of M5ers popping out pretty much right there.

I believe John was talking about getting a bunch from the Dulwich club to join, and that course is right nearby.
I haven't ridden this yet, but there's the Parra to Olympic Park along Parra river. It's closer for Andy and I, whilst relatively close to everyone else.

Joe H, Sydney area for now but would consider a weekend ride in the Hunter Valley or something similar. The missus would definitely go for something that had nice B&Bs or access to nice restaurants or coffee shops.

HV is on the money Joe although not as many cycle paths so country roads can be a bit of a risk. I'd go at the drop of a hat anyway. Sunrise across vinyards, hot air balloons, wildlife and farming enviroment. Dirt roads smoother than the bitumen most times (well, last time it was!) We need to talk some more

With an aim to gain interest from ppl in many different places and offer options, I put this one up also. One meeting point I suggest is Tempe Recreation Reserve. Plenty of parking or possibly some could ride along river track from Parramatta, Homebush and anywhere in between. From there it's out towards Maroubra and La Perouse. I did a reccy ride last week and found Malabar to be amazing, cafes, swimming pool and beautiful clear vista's. NOTE, there are some hills,( a few only) short and some are sharp, so don't expect flatlands. Make sure yr chain is up to it Quangfrailer5 wrote:Well, am back to full(ish) functionality, it seems. 27th looks OK. Perhaps my earlier suggestion on the lower Cooks River > skirt KSA > Mascot back streets > Botany end of Botany Rd.> La Perouse---> return.

My reccy ride below shows Tempe Rc Park just near the Airport,(SOUTH of my start/finish point) 'IF' starting here, cycleway up on to Coward St and pick up route towards La Per'. Some road riding out to La Per' cycleway.

It's open-ended. If not, the one after that, f_b...find_bruce wrote:I want to be there on Saturday 27th, but a bit on at the moment so I will have to play it by ear. Will confirm on Friday
May rendezvous with the group at western end of Coward St., around 0645. The Qantas Drive path ends/flows into Coward St.
Shall be coming from Redfern Station via Mitchell/Euston/Burrows/ then over Canal St Bridge. The Bluetooth ear-piece will be in.
