Nothing says spring quite like a tree-lined street that rains purple flowers. Meet at the small park on the primary school side of Bridge Street (cnr Swanson Street), outside Erskineville Station. see PHOTO below for meeting point. We will enjoy the nearby jacarandas before following the Bourke Street cycleway into the city, via The Domain for more purple displays. Then it’s over the Bridge to Kirribilli to check out the colourful display there – another popular place for that perfect jacaranda photo. And a coffee… Return to Erskineville via Darling Harbour, Glebe and Sydney Uni where we will mourn the once ancient jacaranda on the Quad. The ride is a leisurely pace on-road (mostly back streets) or cycle paths. Riders MUST be confident riding in traffic. DISTANCE: Approx. 25km, mostly flat, with plenty of photo opportunities. Ride will be cancelled if weather impacted. Monitor MeetUp for wet weather cancellation. Bring bike in good working condition, drink bottle, helmet, pump, spare tubes, tyre levers. Riders must be a current financial member ($10 cash on day accepted). (First time riders can trial a ride and will then be asked to join) Please contact ride leader if you have any queries about the ride (Laura 0439 901 613)

Meetup itself is free to use, but some events may have fees to cover costs such as venue rentals, equipment, or refreshments. Event listings usually mention any attendance fees, so you can plan accordingly before signing up.

Most biking events require participants to bring their own bikes. However, check the event details as some may involve bike rentals or organize in partnership with local biking stores where you could rent needed equipment.
