The cycling group met at the usual meeting spot – Information Centre at 4.30 p.m. Tom led us on a very nice ride through the back streets and paths of Bribie – away from the main tracks that we usually ride – Richard, in fact, didn't have a clue where he was on occasions – but then he is a new migrant to Bribie and still learning his way around. It takes at least eight years, Richard, to become a fair dinkum Bribie Islander. Be patient, one day it will happen!

Good time for a ride with summer approaching and temperatures dropping a little at the end of the day. The ride terminated at Sylvan Beach, Pacific Harbour end of the cycling track. Bike bags were opened and very soon a yummy array of nibbles and drinks were displayed on the wall – Lauren even brought a table cloth – so it all looked very posh – that was until the wind blew up and disrupted our nice display.

The socialites, Adele, Keith and Lauren met the riders and joined the party. Mary, thank you for arranging the ski board rider who was being towed by a tinnie and performing some daring acrobatic manoeuvres each time he passed us – no doubt, encouraged by our shouts of approval. Thanks also for the dolphins who popped up and joined our party. They also must have heard there were celebrations in progress. We mustn't forget the beautiful sunset. As dusk approached we bade farewell to one another and took ourselves home.

As we all enjoyed this ride we have decided to make it a weekly summer regular with a three week route rotation (as in the other weekly rides) and it will appear on the new ride calendar. We hope to see more riders taking part on these rides. Of course, socialites are welcome to join us at the end of the ride. So consult your calendar to see where the ride will finish.
