This was an evening ride from the Cooks River to (near) the George
River. Thanks to Digi Dave for organising this ride. We ventured
out on a Tuesday evening - starting a little after 6pm from Canterbury.
The total distance was about 36 km - this was out and back along a
different path and then to Marrickville for a post ride feed.
We started at the old sugar works at Canterbury

in Venice - but without the gondolas
