Late notice but this is a really important message to get behind… the state government’s cuts to the cycling infrastructure budget are extreme and unacceptable. Let’s use this gathering as a chance to constructively show the need for this funding.

There’s a heap of meeting places for group rides to the main gathering. From www.bv.com.au:
