River bike ride

This Saturday morning we’re planning a bike ride rather than a walk. Our route will take us along the Cranbrook and Aitkenvale side of the river before crossing over at Aplin’s Weir and returning via Annandale and Douglas. Depending on the group and trail conditions, we may detour to Douglas Mountain Bike Reserve for a lap around one of the lower green trails (please don’t let this put you off coming - it’s optional and if you wait for us, it won’t be too long). We’ll end our ride with a drink at Mocha Mecca.

GRADE: Easy. This will be a flat ride at a social pace.
DISTANCE: approx 13-14km. If the group decides, we can extend the ride to cross at Bowen Rd which will add another 6km.

EQUIPMENT:
Bike in good condition with functioning brakes and handlebar ends
Helmet (should meet Australian safety standards)
Repair kit (including spare tube)
A few $ if you’d like to join us for a drink
Water (at least 1L). There are water fountains along the route to replenish
Sun protection, personal first aid kit
Enclosed shoes

MEETING:
7am at Riverview Tavern carpark (247/251 Riverside Boulevard, Douglas)
