The Critical Mass bike ride assembles at Civic Park, opposite the Newcastle Town Hall at 5:30pm for a 6pm start. The ride will take about an hour and lead riders to the Premier Hotel, 1 Brunker Road (the Nine Ways), Broadmeadow at 7pm. Please try to come on the bike ride if at all possible because it is a fun team building event and is very similar to WNBR apart from being clothed. A selection of beverages and meals are available on the [http://www.hotelpremier.com.au/menu.php.htm menu] including vegetarian and vegan dishes.<br>
