Barb led the group of six rider with Dirk, Richard, Kevin, Hermann and Helen starting from Rippleside Park. Doug caught up with the group further near Lascelles Wharf.
There is still water on the path under the highway near Rennie Street.
Coffee was at Cafe Xpresso in Lara.

This was a good ride to to on Christmas Day, minus the coffee stop – our small group rambled through the lovely Kevin Hoffmann walk while at Lara, and were ‘peeved’ to find toilets at the station locked up. Our picnic was at the table at Limeburners Bay, sheltered from winds which picked up considerably after lunchtime.
Thanks Marie
Pity about the toilet. There’s an automated one at Six Ways for future reference. Glad you had such and enjoyable ride.
