Bike North Big Ride Day – Sunday 16th August

Since it was such a success last year, we thought we’d do it again. So get ready for the BN Big Ride Day.

The idea is to celebrate the end of Winter and look forward to Spring fairs and Summer events, with lots of rides and a BBQ.

On Sunday 16th August, we’ll be running rides to cater for all BN members - see table below.

All rides will start from the same location at the Concord West Picnic Area Bicentennial Park. Use the entrance to Bicentennial Park off Victoria Avenue, Concord West with parking in the park and nearby streets. This is also conveniently accessible by train from Concord West station via the same entrance.

The rides start at different times and aim to finish between 11:00-11:30am at the Hill Pavilion in Bicentennial Park for a BBQ lunch. You won’t need to bring anything, just turn up after the rides and socialise.
