Great White Bird Trail: Day 1 - a test ride

This is meant to be a ride not a swim - Huey had other ideas on the 9th. Let's try for better weather on the 23 February.

Artist, Gilbert Grace, is curating a series of rides for ARTcycle Inc in 2020 to mark the 250th year of British colonisation: the good, the bad, the indifferent.

The Great White Bird Trail uses the art of emigre Brit sculptor Michael Kitching and the colonial ambitions of emigre Brit capitalist Thomas Holt to tell the story of dispossession, advancement, and development of Southern Sydney and the Sutherland Shire.

The Great White Bird Trail is divided into two rides. Day 1, from Cronulla to Kurnell then Kogarah (40 km); and, Day 2, Kogarah to Campbell Cove, Sydney (30 Km).

This will be a test ride, in which riders will be able to gain insight into the creation of the ride and offer feedback and corrections. Photography encouraged.

The official ride will coincide with a solo exhibition by Grace in April 2020 in the Broadhurst Gallery at the Hazelhurst Art Centre, Gymea.

The ride: share paths, on-road, off-road, mostly level, some hills, some walking of bikes, lunch break tbc.

Meet: 11am, Sunday 9 February, Cafe, Hazelhurst Art Centre, 782 Kingsway, Gymea.

Cost: Members free, non-members $10.

Bring: Dress to the weather, helmet required. Bike in good working order, spares and repairs, water bottle, cash, mobile phone.
