Sydney Spring Festival Ride

Is anyone here going for this ride? I am seriously thinking of joining. Its got a 50km route, starting from Nth Sydney and ending at the Olympic park. Seems like a nice ride.

i generally join in every year.. and try to get some non-cycling friends to come along

it is not a demanding ride, more like a fun ride

you could pretty much go flat-stick all the way and have no probs finishing

to make it interesting, i might ride to the start as opposed to catching a train

I might catch the train there as opposed to getting my wife to drive me there. Whats the policy on bringing a bicycle on the train?

Would also appreciate some practical tips, eg should I wear normal shoes, and bring the cycling shoes in a bag?

Should I bring a backpack, or just travel light?

I dont really fancy walking around in road shoes.

Thanks in advance.

bikes is normally free on trains for the day

and you can always walk barefoot

Any more entries?

Too wussy for ppl here?

I know you can do that distance for free, but it is to join in on the festivity of the occasion.

I suppose it is a bit like the city to surf for cyclists

I got a few friends going...
