Am kicking this thread off as an organising point. Copied below is the text of the thread above. Possible first ride Sunday March 3. probable route: Bi-Centennial path, start near Merrylands High Sch. Follow past Prospect Res, the towards Fairfield City Farm. Open-ended as to where after that, but some sort of loop return to parked vehicles, most likely, after refreshments. Other routes likely later for variety, and depending on home bases of riders on any particular weekend.
Have notated the thread title '(updates)', in anticipation of its future use.
*************************************************
........an open-ended group ride in Sydney, most likely early Sundays, (but could be Saturdays on occasion as well, if a few want to).
-for older bikes/(probably) older riders. We won't be ageist though if there are 20-somethings who are into classic steel.
Pace>sedate/social.-plan to keep the thread there active as a weekly update on what rides/dates over the coming few weekends at any time. It will be an ongoing organising point.
-oh, critical mass is 2.
*************************************
so unless you have a pristine one off that shouldn't see "weather"..........get to the start and ride it like it was meant to ridden 
Whats gonna happwn if its wet?
Am trying to rectify that. And I doubt anyone's going to 'age' your ride-of-the-day. So long as it's got brakes so we stay safe. 
IF? it's the rain yr fearing 
if it's really wet
if it's looking to be dry(ish)
