Cafe menu: https://parxcoffeehouse.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/NEW-SUMMER-MENU-PARX.pdf). Approx 38 kms circuit, mostly flat with some hilly undulations, and some trafficked roads.

Winter Grit & City Lights

Winter Grit & City Lights

Sun, Jul 12, 6:00 AM
From St George Bike Group
4.9

Start Time: 4:00 pm Start/Finish: Holbeach Ave Carpark, Tempe Distance: Approx. 40–45km Grade: Medium (Night riding / Urban navigation) Communications: All comms will be managed here on MeetUp, so keep an eye on the Comments section for any updates. Please update your RSVP if you cannot make it, so others have a chance to attend this numbers-limited ride. ​Looking to shake off the winter blues with a bit of grit, urban exploring, and an excellent reward at the end? ​This is a late afternoon transitioning into a proper night ride, capturing the city lights from the saddle. We’ll depart Tempe at 4:00 pm sharp, snaking our way through Mascot, Alexandria, and Erskineville to hit the Wilson St Cycleway. From there, we roll into Pyrmont and hug the sparkling harbour front, rolling into Darling Square for a brief pit stop to catch our breath. ​The second half of the loop takes us past Circular Quay, down the Pitt St Cycleway, and navigates back south through Central, Redfern, and Waterloo. We’ll link up with the Bourke St Cycleway, heading straight for a well-earned, steaming-hot Malaysian dinner in Mascot—a perfect warm-up and send-off before the final short spin back to the Holbeach Ave carpark. ​Important Notes: ​Lights: Serious, high-quality front and rear night lights are mandatory. No faint commuter flashers, please - you need to see and be seen. If you have niggling vision problems - this ride is not for you. ​The Vibe: This one is not for the faint-hearted. It will be cold, and it will be dark. Good eyesight, urban riding confidence, and a healthy dose of courage and grit are required. ​The Rule: Strictly no weather whingers and no whiners allowed! Lol. Dress in layers, bring your winter stamina, and let's embrace the chill. Numbers: Nice and tight 7 riders at most, so be in quick. Sunday is deliberately chosen as it's a quieter in the city, which makes it a more pleasant ride overall. Fyi - All St George BUG Rides can be found on the St George BUG website: https://www.stgeorgebug.org.au/calenda
