Thank Weiyun!
Our proposed route already takes us through the arch to the eastern side of the bridge and we have no intention of going near Alfred St.
So hopefully there'll be minimal inconvenience for all concerned

Neil,
I'm going regardless of numbers. If you can't be bothered riding to Marrickville and want another rendezvous, the route goes along King St & City Rd to Broadway then down Wattle St.
Otherwise the Sunday ride to Otford and the wall has a bigger bunch if that suits.
