Thats 40km away from where we have chosen so far.
Yes, it is a good spot, but we would have a less central location.
Yes, I live up the road from Centennial Park, but its got a nice track and facillities,
and is central from South and North.
Rail and Car links.
BTW, is travelling on train with a Petrol Motored Bike Legal ?
Its got petrol, so I assumed its not.
Maybe someone else can tell me whats real here.

Travelling with bikes and other wheels
RE: Bikes on Trains
http://www.cityrail.nsw.gov.au/fares/remember.jsp
Toxic, inflammable and/or hazardous materials are not permitted on stations or trains.
I guess it would come down to wether the guard noticed the motor or not.
In the below Nowhere does it say, No Petrol Motors.
So Impression, once ya bikes running, you could
make it to Centennial park, with a quick ride from Central.

Travelling with bikes and other wheels
Bicycles are permitted on trains free of charge on the weekend and in off-peak periods. However, if part or all of your journey is made between 6.00am - 9.00am or between 3.30pm to 7.30pm on weekdays you must purchase a child ticket for the bicycle as well as a ticket for yourself.
This applies to both standard and folding bicyles as well as those that have had wheels or other parts removed.
When you're travelling with a bicycle, please make sure it does not block doors and passageways used by CityRail staff and passengers.
Riding bicycles, skateboards, scooters or skates on CityRail stations and trains is prohibited.
Manual wheelchairs and battery powered wheelchairs and scooters used by passengers with a disability are permitted on stations and trains. See Accessing CityRail for more information.
Bicycles are permitted to travel on Sydney Ferries if there is room in the bicycle racks - first in, first carried.

My bike is running, so work permitting I'm definately in 
thanks fetor, we have labelled the meet, The Gathering, rather than Rally,
as we've got a 5km track to circuit as many times as we want.
So we could end up doing more kms than a rally anyway.

If you visit the above link and copy and paste in
Centennial Park NSW, Australia
then you can see the map1.jpg as attached.
click the satel-light link and you get sat1.jpg
just filling in the details...
I like water-views myself, so we may park near one of the ponds.
Schweet, that is only about 10 minutes from me! I should be able to make it, assuming all is well with my bike!

We changed the date to the 14th of June
Good one, its fun in the early days.
we changed the date to the 14th of June,
see above.
As someone was coming from Newcastle who couldn't do
Sunday.
So we're getting more riders.
As this is open invitation,
you can invite friends.
My earlier concept was that we could offer rides
to people. The below is an attempt to
prevent issues from bike sharing.
Now this is up to the individual rider to approve.
Here's a "concept of engagement":
If we are asked
0. Can I ride your bike ?
1. Decide if you want this person to ride your bike.
2. Offer a reason, for either Yes or No.
3. Offer to Have a Test Run, and Approval.
4. Do we have a mentor rider ?
1 & 2, This occurs within your own time and way.
3. If I think we should offer a test run first
on Mulgrave Road. Its a dead end,
with a slight slope.
what better road for starting a bike.
You can then assess to check the rider can ride
your bike, before allowing a lap of the park.
Offer any suguestions for ride improvement.
We could send a group around rather than a single rider.
So there would be a concept of group integrity running,
where they all report back on what the ride was like
and where they went.
