Why join this one? * We expect it to be a rare time we can take the short cut through White Bay Power Station. * We will be joined by Councilors Phillipa Scott and Kerrie Ferguson, so come along and let them know we want an inner west where riders of all ages and abilities can move about safely and conveniently by bike. The options to get there: 1/ Join me at the rotunda in Pioneer Park Leichhardt for a 7.30am departure to the start point in Balmain. (rsvp for this option only). 2/ Get yourself to Loyalty Square (Woolworths) Balmain by 8.00am 3/ Get yourself to the front gates of White Bay Power Station by 8.20am ["bus" pick up point] We will have a coffee somewhere close to the CBD.
