6.30am 25km Kickbike Christmas Picnic Enjoy a relaxing 20km kick from Woody Point to Scarborough and return,
and then join us for a BYO picnic on the foreshore at Woody Point. Or, just come along and join us for
the picnic. There will be a BBQ close if you want to cook your brekkie, or you can bring your own cold
picnic feed and drinks. All welcome, and it's a great chance to soak in some water front relaxation.
Sat 23rd Dec 6.30am 16-22km St Lucia Uni kick. Meet on Bright St Kangaroo point,
just down from the Story Bridge Hotel. (Refedex Pg 23 Ref C1 Parking should be available on Bright St,
or on McDonald St.) From here we will head out to the University at St Lucia via Coronation Rd,
over the green Bridge and back thru West End for Brekkie at the Storey Bridge Hotel. Bring your
Go-card if you decide to avoid the climbs and shorten your distance to 16km, by catching the ferry from
the Uni to West End. This shorter kick is great for beginners, and gives you a pleasant interlude on the
river ferry.
