As Lady Gaga sings in her hit song "Paparazzi":

Need that picture of you
It's so magical

Sydney Spring Cycle is on 27th September this year. Organised by Bicycle NSW, there are four ride options: The Original "Ride North Sydney" which takes you from North Sydney, across the Harbour bridge, through the Sydney CBD and inner Western Suburbs and finally to Sydney Olympic park (a 40 km ride + 10km if you choose to do the additional circuit around the park). There is also a ride originating from Blacktown in Sydney's west and Liverpool in Sydney's South-western suburbs. Finally you can take the lazy *ahem* easy route around the park. I guess the last one caters for families - but the last time I went on this ride I saw little kiddies making their journey from North Sydney with mini-road bikes. Register for the event.
