Lo all

For those not quite up to date with current events, I'm soon seachanging with the family to North Queensland.

I'm upping stumps in Sydney mid-June, but going up the North the long way (via France, as it happens)

Me, Sue and the kids are excited about the move, but it will be kinda sad to say goodbye to so many great friends in Sydney. A heap of those are DHBC folk. So as a goodbye of sorts, I'd like to do one last club ride on the Queen's Birthday Holiday 8th of June. Nothing too exotic or long - a LaPa ride at C25 pace and a return back to Marrickville via the slowies route. Rolling out from the Post Office at a leisurely winter friendly 7am.

Not sure if we'll stop for coffees at St Judes, another Redfern caf or the MRC (depends how the public holiday plays out). It will deffo be one of the 3 though. And it'll be my shout for coffees.

Hopefully the weather is decent. Everyone is welcome.

Greg

Sounds great! Wouldn't miss it so see you there...

We'll be sorry to see you go but hopefully we'll be able to come see you in Townsville for some riding.

France hey...? Doesn't happen to coincide with some cycling race or other?

Annoyingly the planets don't line up for the tour this time round. C'est la vie

Just have to get by on the croque monsieurs, art, countryside & croissants. I'll squeeze in a ride or 2 as well

Hi Greg, I can't make the ride as I've got a class on, but I can do coffee. Can someone text me which coffee shop you are at when you get there. Cheers Mike

Are you going the normal LaPa route via Tempe Reserve? If so, I'll meet you there at 7.09. That's precision for you.

Greg. I am out for tomorrow. Apologies. Hope to catch up again when you are in Sydney, preferably with your new/old Repco.

Normal route - at least until we hit cafe country.

I'd bow to Adam's expertise. Albeit we don't usually do LaPa at c25s pace, nor do we know the cafe endpoint
