Its a great opportunity to enjoy a route open only once per year and to show the public as well as local, state and federal govts that cycling is a mass participation activity (and thus deserving a better share of roads and transport funding). Those who want to can meet at the start at St Leonards Park to ride as a group. Easiest way to get there is get the Metro to Victoria Cross and exit the station at the northern end then walk up the hill to St Leonards park near North Sydney Oval.

Out West Again

You need to book your own accommodation as soon as possible. As unexpected delays on the road are possible you need to carry a minimum two litres of water and lunch for each segment. No coffee stops just a picnic or three! Unless I can find a driver we will have to carry all our own luggage so pack like a squirrel. *Any friends interested in being a luggage driver and tourist while we ride?* Day 1: You get yourself to Eugowra by 10.30 AM on 26/10 and cycle 48 kms to Parkes. Perhaps stay at Bushman’s. I will drive up Sunday afternoon. Cars will be parked near the Eugowra Cafe for free over the week. We have done this before without incident. Arrive Parkes by bike in the evening. Day 2: Cycle 48 kms Parkes to Forbes and explore. Perhaps stay at the Ben Hall Motel. Day 3: Early start to cover 68 kms to Grenfell via paved road staying at Grenfell Hall. Mainly flat with plenty of rest stops. Day 4: Ride the 75 kms to Canowindra, perhaps staying at Eddy’s.

The final day we ride 59 kms back to Eugowra, **all unpaved** for 6 hours of riding. Collect your car and drive the main road back to Canowindra (34 kms) and spend the night as there is no accommodation at Eugowra or drive to Sydney (not recommended).

City Arvo Ride

Distance: Approx. 40–45km ​Grade: Medium (Night riding / Urban navigation / Steady pace) ​Comms: All updates will be posted here on MeetUp in the Comments section. Please update your RSVP early if your plans change so someone else can grab your spot. ​Ready to welcome the warmer weather with a classic urban loop? This ride is all about shaking off the last of the winter blues and soaking in the absolute best views Sydney has to offer as the day fades into dusk and night. ​We’ll depart Tempe right as the late afternoon light softens, snaking our way through Mascot, Alexandria, and Erskineville to hit the Wilson St Cycleway. From there, we roll into Pyrmont to catch the golden hour and hug the sparkling harbor front, pulling into Darling Square for a quick pit stop. ​The real magic happens on the second half of the loop. We’ll glide past Circular Quay to watch the city lights flicker to life over the water, head down the Pitt St Cycleway, and navigate south through Central, Redfern, and Waterloo. We’ll link up with the Bourke St Cycleway, heading straight toward a well-earned, delicious Malaysian dinner - we'll make the final call on the day whether we pull into Mascot or Rosebery. After dinner, it's just a final short spin back to the Holbeach Ave carpark. ​Sunday is deliberately chosen because the city traffic is much quieter, making for a smooth, pleasant cruise. ​Crucial Details & House Rules ​Lights: Serious, high-quality front and rear night lights are mandatory. No faint commuter flashers, please - you need to see the road and be seen by traffic. ​Confidence & Vision: This is a night ride with urban navigation. Good eyesight, night-riding confidence, and a sharp eye for city traffic are required. ​The Vibe: Spring evenings can still carry a crisp breeze, so dress in layers. We're here for good riding, stunning views, and great food - leave the complaints at home and bring your best riding energy! ​Fyi - All St George BUG Rides can be found on the St George BUG website: [https://www.stgeorgebug.org.au/calendar](https://www.stgeorgebug.org.au/calendar)
