The Fifth SydRide - Lunch at Picton - 23apr95
[ There is now a
SydRide Mailing List and Web Page.
]
I am thinking it's past time for another SydRide. To make things easy (i.e.
to get more folks along and to encourage the smaller bikes) this is a day
trip rather than the Oxley three day run.
The pub at Picton serves good food and EXCELLENT beer. Not, of course, that
we will down much or maybe any, but we can stock up on our depleted supplies
of Bock. It is the oldest continuously running brewery in Oz.
If you feel like coming, let me know. If you have a preference for either
weekend, please say so.
As always, come one, come all. Tell your friends, bring pillions if you like.
Moto capacity doesn't matter. Preferred speed doesn't matter.
The run is scheduled for the 23rd of April.
On the 16th (the original idea, before we found out it was Easter)
I'll be running through the Park anyway,
so anyone who wants to come along is more than welcome.
To the Picton run:
- Sydneysiders:
- a mid-morning run down through the Audley National Park, morning tea
at Stanwell, south along the coast road to Bulli, up the Pass, out
through Appin to Picton.
- GongFolk:
- up MtKiera, out to Picton?
Better: up MacPass, out to Moss Vale, across to Picton?
- Canberrites:
- some route to Picton, should any of you come. Anyone with a good
idea for an ACT-Picton leg?
All: at Picton, a relaxed lunch. Home by whatever route appeals.
Proposed RDVs for the 23rd are:
- Sydneysiders
- RDV 9:30am at my place (Kensington)
for those for who this is convenient.
RDV 10:30am at the north entrance to the Park.
- GongFolk
- RDV 10:30am at the north entrance of the Park for the zealous.
Somewhere Gongwards for the rest? (Top of MtKiera maybe? Who from the
Gong is coming, BTW?)
- ACTFolk
- Organise this with Jay Gomboso <jgomboso@abare.gov.au>.
We should be having morning tea at the Stanwell tea-house about 11:15am. We
should be at Picton about 12:30pm for a leisurely lunch. Anyone who doesn't
meet us along the way can find us there. If you get lost, find a phone. I'll
have my mobile along (015 064 511) and if I'm not actually riding I should be
reachable.

Ok, the run has been pushed back to the 23th of April.
Reasons:
- Easter is traditionally speed-trap-ridden.
- While the ride is a Sunday and Monday's a public holiday there will
still be more than the usual lot of Sunday drivers about.
- With luck everyone who went out for Easter
won't bother the next weekend.
- A number of people can't make it on Easter (16apr95)
but can on the 23rd..
