We invite you to join us on Saturday 11 July 2020 for a bicycle ride along the route Carolyn Lister used to take to her workplace at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital. We’ll start at 10am from Frances Ave, Wooloowin in front of Carolyn and John’s home, and finish in beautiful Bowen Park, just across the road from Carolyn’s destination last Tuesday morning when her life was tragically cut short.

We will celebrate Carolyn’s spirit and call on the Queensland Government and Brisbane City Council to do more to ensure people can enjoy cycling safety to work, school, errands, social events and as visitors to Brisbane.

A Ride of Silence doesn’t seem appropriate for Carolyn – she was someone who would strike up new conversations and friendships on her commute and on her travels. She would want to remind us of the pleasure and social nature of cycling. So the theme of the ride will be “Friends along the Way“.

Everyone is welcome, but of course we ask you to be mindful of health requirements.

Friends along the Way – Ride for Carolyn Lister

When: Saturday 11th July 2020. 10.00 am
Where: Meet Melrose Park at the end of Frances Avenue, Wooloowin.
Who: Everyone welcome
Distance: 6.5 km
Duration: 10:00am – 11:30am

There is a shorter, easier option for children or people who don’t want to ride on the road: assemble at 10:15 on the North Brisbane Bikeway at the corner of Blackmore St and McDonald Rd and the ride will briefly stop here so you can join the group.

Public health directions for movement and gatherings, including social distancing will be observed. Participants are requested to avoid hugs, kisses and handshakes.
