Hi GRO Riders,
It’s time for the group to embrace an evening ride together.
I have always travelled over the Sydney Harbour Bridge by foot, car, bus or train. I haven’t however made the journey on a motorcycle. So, I put it to the committee a couple of months ago that I would like to do a nighttime run and meet up for dessert and/or coffee.
Please join me in this Harbour Bridge Crossing adventure.
If you can’t make the ride maybe just meet us for Dessert or Coffee, I expect that we should arrive at Love Crepe approximately 8 – 8:15pm depending on traffic.
Just in case you are after a quick meal before hand there is a Pizza shop (next door), Hamburger shop (across the road) and Pub (a couple of doors down) all close by.
As this is a night ride – if it is raining the ride will be cancelled.

Please make yourself aware of the route prior to attending. It makes it easier and less stressful if you know where you are going.
If new to our group, look out for Committee Members wearing a name badge who can answer any questions.
Learners and less experienced riders. If you would like an experienced buddy for the ride, let us know, it is what we do.
All riders and pillions are welcome. Learners and P-platers included.
We will always ride to your level of experience.
If you’re not a financial member of Girls Ride Out we simply ask that you sign our waiver, or you can grab a membership form and join up on the day.

*** Weather Note*** If you wake on ride morning to grey skies make a call based on your own riding ability whether to attend. If the weather looks inclement check Facebook around 8am to see if the ride has been cancelled. The ride will only be cancelled if weather is severe.
