Andrew aka TugBoat and two of his mates, Angelo aka Albino and Anthony aka Froggy are early confirmed starters for this delightfully rural ' rustic ride which, alas, we don't schedule often enough.

Early on a Sunday morn' Campbelltown is only 50min drive from Gordon via Homebush Bay Drive, turn right onto M5 about 1km past big Roselands sign on RHS.  Exit M5 at Campbelltown Rd.  After about 2km you pass Campbelltown Showgrounds on RHS.  Cross Broughton St and remain on Campbelltown Rd after it becomes Oxley St and turn L (about 1.3 km past Broughton St) at The Parkway and park approx 200m along (on the main drag, outside the Olympic Swimming Pool).  Care: You can get booked if you park in the swimming pool carpark and breach the time limits, so park on the main road.
