Cheers for posting it Mick!
I'm still buzzing…. what an unreal day! Best ride ever, Josh and Andrew did an absolutely killer job of picking up the idea and organising everything. Posting the ad on Gumtree really helped pull in a few extras.

Sydney City's finest - gotta do a road trip to make it for one of these rides....or even fly in fly out!
Flying with the Freestyler was a breeze… I'd definitely do it again. Cut down bike box with bars/pedals/front wheel detached + bubble wrap - easy. Virgin inbound, Jetstar outbound, everything went suprisingly smoothly.

The Sydney boys have caught up with the Brisbane boys. Sydney is a perfect place to ride. Brisbane has 30 or 40 at a time.
According to the thread there was about 8 ladies and quite a few kids. I love the backdrop of the harbour.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I counted 8 of us girls on the day! It was awesome not to be the only one for a change, haha ;) Yep, kids too, there was a young teenage OzBMXer on his Hutch (he brought his Dad along too), and a couple of other kids accompanied their Dads, but on NS builds. Super diverse gang of bandits, which made it even more fun. And even MORE fun was being chased by Rangers in the Botanical Gardens...

haha
We've sadly only had about 20 at the last two Brissy rides (that's right yeah, Ben and Mick?) 19 and then 21 I think. Hopefully numbers will pick up again!
