Let's try and finalise a route by about Wed., and do a final roll-call Friday evening.

I'm liking this idea! The last few rides we've done have all been through Western Sydney, so this will be something different.frailer5 wrote: Or... Strathfield Stn > Cooks River>Yarra Bay. If it's flagged as a hot day, wear cozzies and jump in at Yarra bay.
Shall map one over the next day or so, if you want. I'll be just happy to get back into it; plan to ride to work at least 2~3 days next week; been difficult to do it this week.

Pity I will be in Port Macquarie both weekends. I will be back in January & should be free for a ride on most weekends

Bruce is the one going to Port Mac, not me. I'm hoping I can make the ride! It sounds like a good one, thanks for taking the time to map it.frailer5 wrote:I'll try and get a mapmyride up by end Wed. Have fun in Port, Claire.

Here is the April ride
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/304379278
met and started in Tempe, some ppl took trains to Sydenham or Redfern. We had brekky break at Malabar. Some bike paths, mostly on shared roads, traffic generally light.

I'll put something up by tonight. Nothing complicated/fancy, though. Strathfield's a good starting point, as we can access the Cook's river path fairly easily from there, plus a bonus for me... fast train from Hornsby.
The only slight negative about the Cooks River path is the kiddie numbers/walkers build up during the morning. Maybe an alternative route home for you guys. I may head to Redfern Station to head home; depending on the time.
You guys OK for an early start? (summer solstice is Sunday)... Nominate your earliest convenient starting time and I'll average them.

Why not... But we'll wait for the rest of the poll.rheicel wrote:6AM?
Here's the route. Straightforward, and we've all done it numerous times, I think. On the return route, I'll likely peel off at Point #16. --> Redfern Stn.
A pre-holiday doddle, if that's OK with y'all.

In regards to the route, the Boulevarde and Hume are big roads, but at that time it should be empty enough to ride on. Austyn, does that sound about right? Any other ways to get to the Cooks whilst avoiding big roads?
