Critical Mass
All riders interested in participating in the Sydney WNBR should consider participating in Sydney Critical Mass. Marte will be attending some Sydney Critical Mass rides in the lead up to the Sydney WNBR to promote participation, encourage people to help organise and holding organising meetings after the CM ride. We meet at the Archibald Fountain at the Northern end of Hyde Park, on the last Friday of every month at 5:30pm for a 6:00pm departure. You can find a map and pictures of the location on the Sydney Critical Mass wiki page.

Future
In August 2007, Marte volunteered to help organise WNBR in Sydney. Marte seeks help from as many people as possible to make WNBR Sydney 2008 a big success. Marte welcomes the contribution of ideas and practical help. People interested in participating or helping Marte organise a WNBR in Sydney should at least try to come to Sydney Critical Mass rides (see above) and the WNBR meetings that follow, join the discussion group, try to make contact with others with similar views and demonstrate some initiative. Regardless of the level of help that is offered to help organise WNBR Sydney, Marte will pressing ahead and making the ride happen! Please refer to the Organizing a ride page for more information about how to help organise a WNBR.
