The Annual Chocolate Ride

This morning was the annual Bike Marrickville Chocolate and Fine Food ride. To quote the pamphlet we set out to, "Eat our way around the backstreets of Marrickville on an almost calorie-neutral bike tour of chocolatiers, gelato manufacturers, speciality shops and patisserie and confectionary wholesalers you never knew existed."

Because the ride is of such significance, we were farewelled by the mayor (top left photo) who was planning to ride with us.

The ride normally draws a group of around fifty but, with the prediction of showers and after a week of rain, numbers were down a little.

I suggest your view LARGE.
