Standard Description
Explore and discover a new cafe or two in this loop ride that starts from Sydney Harbour and traverses the cafe lifestyle of the inner city on the East side. This ride is part of the Inner City Cafe ride collection that experiences the cafe lifestyle to the South, East and West of the inner city. From Sydney Harbour the ride passes through the inner city on the East including a visit to Centennial Park. The ride will go via suburbs such as Woolloomooloo, Kings Cross, Darlinghurst, Paddington, Waterloo, Redfern, Chippendale and Central Park etc., and return to Sydney Harbour. The ride leader may choose to restrict numbers to enable the exploration of boutique cafes that may be small. The ride leader may advertise a longer time duration than expected for the distance and pace to enable the visitation of more than one cafe. Riders are encouraged to bring a secure lock for their bike. There are many convenient early exit points (train or light rail stations) available nearby the route. Additionally, riders can turn around at any point and retrace the route. If a rider leaves the ride, they should let the ride leader or sweep know BEFORE leaving the ride, ensuring the person acknowledges they were heard!
